This specific one I don't know, flightaware overlays are notoriously unreliable and until the significant event summary comes out we can only speculate. This one last month in BCN for sure did though:

The difference is junior guys don't go trolling threads with 330 and 350 incidents trying to skewer their fellow pilots to stroke their own egos. I actually quite enjoyed the discussions in this thread about different radar and convection avoidance techniques, and possible threats associated with each one. It's how I expect professionals to behave, and would love all cases to be treated with this same regard. Unfortunately if the aircraft type is one that attracts junior pilots, and the boogeyman "quick upgrades", the discussion usually devolves into attacking the background and experience level of the crew, before knowing anything about the circumstances.
My point is that everyone is one bad day at work away from ending up in the news. Recent events show this can happen across all fleets and seniority levels. So let's give people the benefit of the doubt and look at the complete picture before getting out the pitchforks
