makes sense, both the head and copilot on this flight were relatively inexperienced on the 777. I wonder if the Airline had laid off their veteran (and hence high earning) pilots earlier (which would have exacerbated such a situation with inexperienced pilots); it's certainly not unheard of in the industry. Lastly, apparently the Asiana Air CEO has been quoted as saying that all responsibility lies with the pilots and that he and/or the company are not responsible. Great to know that your boss has your back >_>

  So who is responsible for hiring a good CEO? So who is responsible for hiring a good board? So who is responsible for getting good owners? So where does the buck stop?

> both the head and copilot on this flight were relatively inexperienced on the 777 The training pilot had 3220 hours on the 777, that's pretty experienced I would say. It's probably more time than I've spent walking. It was his first flight as a training captain, though

  Read the quoted bit about hour inflation in the comment from the instructor. On actual flights, the actual stick time can be on the order of T/200 or so.
