At the same level of competency with air France 447...
- diceduckmonk 4y agoAre airlines lowering their standards due to labor shortages, or are they overworking their pilots?
- kqr 4y agoOr are people flying more so there are more opportunities for incidents?
- missedthecue 4y agoThere are over 100,000 commercial flights per day around the world. Flying is very safe but statistically, shit happens.

- hef19898 4y agoYou sure haven't read the incident report on that disaster, did you? It is not even the same aircraft model, not even the same manufacturer...
- ddalex 4y agoIt's the training of the first officer that is the questionable in both incidents.
- hef19898 4y agoWhile that was a contributing factor in the AF case (I didn't look up the other one), it is far from the only one. Stating it like the FO training being, kind of, the only factor is over simplifying things a lot. Exactly what isn't happening with aviation incidents.
- ddalex 4y agoHave you read the AF447 report? The FO lacked basic airmanship skills, such as not stalling own plane and not knowing pushing the nose down to increase airspeed.... he would have failed PPL licence in a Cessna. Sure, it was not the only factor, but it was one of the decisive factors.
