And this is the very reason many experienced captains are concerned about the direction some carriers are heading in employing first officers with very little flight time experience.

Make of it what you will

The incident occurred due to inadvertent handling of the control column in fully automated mode by the copilot which got compounded as he was not trained to recover the aircraft in automated mode.

Stay away from AIr India Express.
Is this a LCC?

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a pilot but I would have thought that anybody would know that if you pushed forward on the control column and the plane goes down and then you want the plane to come back up, it would be a natural reaction to pull back?

If you made it to First Officer, then this should even be a reflex!

One would expect that it should be a reflex :!:
