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.
Re: Older pilots 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.
Wow, that's a long interview. {:0)
