Re: This is not the pilot retraining you are looking for

Consider that after the Lion Air crash the entire details of how to successfully fly the plane (same plane, same problem the day before did 90 minutes and the pilots wrote up a nuisance complaint, not a near-death complaint) and how to crash the plane (don't trim) were sent to the entire flying community and both Boeing and the FAA issued exact guidance on what to do - and Ethiopian decided to do ... nothing. No reviews, no training, no other thing.

In contrast the Ethiopian pilots failed to do most of the items on the stall-warning checklist as well, which they were supposedly actually trained for. Failing to do the stall-warning checklist set them up for failure.

And then similarly skilled pilots put PIA 8303 into a neighborhood. On a plane with no known defects related to the crash.
