There is an elephant in the room. Third world pilots don't know how to fly. They are simply managers of the video game that is the cockpit. They don't know the aircraft systems and don't know how or when to hand fly the plane. The Asiana pilots who pranged the 777 at SFO are a perfect example. The cockpit recordings of Lion Air show the pilots were morons who did not understand the aircraft. Sometimes even non third world pilots don't know how to fly...example the Air France crash in South America where too late the captain came back into the cockpit to see the co-pilot fly the plane into the ocean. As I see it (and I am a pilot) what is going on is hysteria, grounding of an aircraft type, not because it is unsafe, but because too many airlines don't train their flight crews properly.
