The copilot was in his 20s with only a couple thousands hours.

Saw some aviation expert on TV the other day who said the same thing my husband has said - many of these foreign pilots basically are trained to fly a computer. They don’t usually have the practical experience with airplanes that US pilots have. This contributed to the crash in San Francisco.

I had lunch with 2 pilots today who were talking about their experiences in Alaska and that sort of valuable experience is unknown to most foreign pilots.
