Experience Matters

Germany's Spiegel reports:

A young co-pilot steered the Airbus A320 that almost crashed on Saturday while trying to land in heavy wind. The more experienced 39-year-old pilot then took over to abort the landing and take off again.

The Lufthansa Airbus A320 that almost crashed (more...)while trying to land at Hamburg airport in heavy wind was being steered by the 24-year-old female co-pilot, named only as Maxi J., according to a spokesman for the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Investigation.

I know Gloria Steinem thinks "being a secretary is the best way to learn your boss’s job," but if the boss's job involves life and death decisions...well, you want somebody who has some experience, don't you?
