I'll go out on a limb here and say that if the Captain HAD been a flight instructor with even just a few hundred hours of dual given under his belt, this crash would have never happened.
Paying for a job as a means to sidestep the pursuit of valuable experience as a professional aviator is in no way moral, legitimate, or conducive to staffing the strongest pilots in our cockpits.
It's not about which experience is best, it's about not lowering the bar or looking the other way when it comes to safe, proficient flying skills strictly for a company to make more money.
I'll even go out on the limb a little further, I don't think it is merely a coincidence that the above three crashes all contained Gulfstream Academy Graduates.
