BTW - those 1,000 hour pilots were learning from the captians.
Ok so do you know if the Captain with thousands of hours was the one flying this or the FO with thousands of hours? If it does turn out to be the icing inducing a stall at such a low altitude not much could be done to prevent this eh? even if you are a 10k hour super pilot .......Time to jump off that high horse. Condolences to everyone affected by this tragedy. Sad day......
