I think the issue is the airlines' (especially the regionals) tendency to push people through training who don't have the necessary stick and rudder and/or judgment skills to safely operate a complex aircraft. I've seen it with my own eyes numerous times as a former regional guy.
I'm not necessarily saying this particular crew was skill-deficient, but the scenario does point that direction.
Geeze Louise Are you for real? are you going to turn this in a low time high time pilot issue..
Remember Tenerife : Capt Jacob Veldhuyzen van Zanten I am sure was an experience pilot but the fact is his actions cost hundreds of people their lives, some said earlier that pilots make mistakes and no matter how you slice it we are all exposed to tons of threats by the very nature of our work singling out a certain segment of our profession and then making comments like you did dont help. as long as there is Liveware in the cockpit mistakes will be made.
Mistakes you listed can have devastating results just like a navigation error which caused KAL 007 to be shot down or AA 965 to end up in CFIT in cali. Its easy to sit and talk about folks when they are not around and cannot defend themself but be mindful that you dont take the
attitude that it can never happen to me cause I am super pilot ultra experience
