Please don't be so ignorant...this statement is borderline stupid.
The crew of Comair 5191 was FAR from being a couple of inexperienced wunderpilots, and thinking otherwise means you didn't read the NTSB reports. The captain had been at Comair around 7 years, had over 1500 hours of CL65 PIC and double that total in the airplane. The FO had been at Comair over 2.5 years.
They made an extremely tragic mistake at the end of a
very long accident chain...but to claim they were inexperienced is incorrect at best and naively foolish at worst.
