I watched an interview over the past year, and a retired pilot (I would assume he was up into his mid-70s) made the point that older pilots (suggesting in their 60s) would have gone to instinct, and corrected the chaotic moment.

This is a Third World pilot problem.

This plane was flown for almost two years in North America, Europe, and wealthy Asian countries.

Number of Crashes - Zero

Number of Reported Close Calls - Zero

So it had nothing to do with the plane itself...

That is true, and US/UK pilots are experienced and have “air sense.”

It is often discussed how badly automation of the cockpit is harming piloting skills and judgment.
