The pilot of LNI043 did NOT recover successfully. He failed, the first officer failed. It was a jump pilot who recognized the issue and the solution. Also the MCAS upset in LNI043 was no where near as aggressive as LNI610 or ET302.
Literally no one disputes the importance of experience. But you keep throwing it out as relevant to LNI610 and ET302 without any explanation or causal connection. In the case of Colgan Air 3407, the two pilots had 5500+ hours of experience between them, each well over the current ATP experience of 1500 hours total time requirement, and yet the captain inexplicably, likely due to startle factor, pulled back on the yoke contrary to his training, and made the stall worse and the airplane unrecoverable. Who cares if 5000+ hour pilots know to drop flaps in an emergency if they get startled in a stall and make the stall worse by pulling back on the yoke!
