What is average? Is the average of one countries pilots the same as another's - maybe, maybe not. Whilst I tend to agree, this does seem a bit of a blame-shift/deflection, it does raise the area of pilot plane certification. Maybe, that is the area that needs to be addressed so pilots are more knowledgeable about the plane they are flying at a level beyond what is allowed now. However this plays out, I'd say those who certify planes for use by pilots also need to do so on the basis of the "average" pilot and perhaps need to raise their standards more than pilots do. I would of assumed that had plane had difficulty - that they had a hotline to somebody who was very knowledgeable beyond forcing pilots in a panic situation to RTFM. Which is kinda what the situation is now.
