There is absolutely no doubt that this accident is pilot error. The crew paid for their mistakes with their lives. The point I am trying to make is that there are human factors involved. Colgan 3407 was a stall spin accident. Air France 447 was a stall spin accident from about 38,000 feet. The Pinnacle accident on the repo flight both crew members pulled back against the stick pusher. If all we ever do is say those pilots were bad pilots and now they are dead so the problem is solved then we are no better than management. If we, as educated pilots, recognize that when an upset occurs be it because of flying on the edge of the flight envelope as was the case with the Pinnacle repo or some sort of instrumentation error as was the case with af 447 or be it startle and confusion as was probably the case with 3407, human factors will become a factor, then we will go a step towards making learning from others mistakes. At Colgan Air prior to 3407 we were taught approach to stall recovery. Before coming to the airline I as any pilot had stall training as a student pilot, private pilot, instrument pilot and commercial pilot. As a cfi candidate I had spin training. My experience prior to 121 taught me to reduce the angle of attack. At Colgan I was taught to power our of a stall with minimal loss of altitude. I can't speak for other training curriculums at other 121 carriers but I believe there are probably other carriers that had a similar philosophy.
