So, my last post stated two ideas with absolutely no evidence:

1. There is a direct correlation between experience and safety.
2. Some airlines have intentionally selected less experienced pilots when they could have hired more experienced pilot for reasons related to profits.

If these two statements are true, that leads to a third statement that "some airlines have intentionally increased risks for the sake of profit.

There have been many comments here about the incentive for the companies to address this issue. Also speculation about the ability of the government to make some changes. I think there is a third, more likely, player. The insurance companies. In many cases, the insurance companies are the most likely change agent.
