My opinion, is basically both. The guy failed 5 checkrides and probably shouldn't have been in the left seat. It's pilot error, lack of piloting skills, and deficient training. I'm sure he was a nice guy and it's nothing personal, but 50 people are dead. I find it kinda funny that I got ripped a new a-hole for saying exactly what these new reports are saying.
