The reason is having more experienced pilots who have had better training and are more seasoned is an obvious answer. This a partial solution to the problem. There is not enough training devices and resources to manage the problem.

The pilots being developed today do not have the real time in aircraft experience as those pilots trained 39-40 years ago. To suggest otherwise is nonsense.

Airlines cannot train any more pilots any faster. Their simulators are running 24/7 and they cannot contract more. It takes 2 years to build a simulator and that does not solve the problem.

International companies who want to fly into the United States are putting pilots in Boeing and Airbus aircraft with 300 hours total time.

The Lions Air and Ethiopian Airlines accidents was a wake up call.

The retirement age is changing and the bills have already been created for a change in the U.S., which is simply waiting for ICAO's final work.
