It appears (worldwide) that pilots are either been subject to excessive flight hours or their training is not surveyed and improved from time to time. Whose responsibility is this? The airlines'? The companys'? The recent crash in Sao Paulo (Brazil) where the pilot was informed (and he accepted this foolish advice) that his plane could fly without reverse turbine power on its right engine, shows this. Probably the plane was able to fly, but landing on a short wet runway made it swerve to the left and crash against a company building, with loss of all (200) people aboard. The pilot should have known better, didn't he?
