Turns out the copilot only had 200 hours, which is crazy. My brother said these countries train pilots alot differently than we do. They get all their hours on automated planes and have very little feel for how to actually fly. Even the captain only had 8000 hours, and he is the one training the copilot on the job. Around here you would be lucky to be captain with those hours, let alone a trainer.
