FWIW.I found this article on the Lion Air accident interesting. The thing is, without actually sighting the training records and some support commentary from other pilots who had actually operated with the crew, well, - you can guess the rest. There is an essential need for debate starting to build; between those 'can do' and those increasingly dependent on automated systems to manage a flight. It would be an interesting discussion; where to draw the line:  increasingly automated aircraft and the computer skills required to operate the aircraft v the need for 'hands on' skills. This takes us to simulator time v aircraft time in actual conditions. Much for the big guns to consider.
