Why speculate when the article itself is quite clear on the cause?
„(…) a formal internal safety report was filed by the pilots and the aircraft was inspected before its next flight. “ United then closely coordinated with the FAA and ALPA on an investigation that ultimately resulted in the pilots receiving additional training.”
- aflag 4y agoThat’s not clear at all to me. Can you clarify?
- woodruffw 4y agoI think you're reading too far into that: that could mean anything from "the pilots needed more training to handle a microburst" to "we don't know what happened, so we're going to blame it on a lack of training."
- mjevans 4y agoTraining might be on Reporting the live observed incident in real time, for the benefit of others who might be in that same area soon.
- TylerE 4y agoProbably not quite real time. Aviate, navigate, communicate. In that order.
- mjevans 4y agoIn the sense of after they'd recovered or were well in control again rather than waiting until after the entire flight.

- aflag 4y agoEven if the training is due an error that caused the incident, it doesn't say what the error was. I'm sure they didn't confuse their plane for a submarine.
