I heard an interesting conversation on the radio last weekend with an Australian pilot who is currently flying one of these new planes.
He wasn’t apportioning any blame for this plane going down but did say, “budget airline, budget maintenance and budget training” cause accidents.
Referring to this particular crash and the suspected cause being the incorrect airspeed shown on the captain’s instrument, he said what should have happened when the plane started going up and down was to hand over control to the first officer. This is what the pilot did on a flight from Bali to Jakarta which landed safely after experiencing a similar problem .
The pilot on the radio speculated that the pilot on the crashed plane may have panicked and not handed over control of the aircraft.
