Another stall accident (In PSA, the P stands for Pinnacle)

[Evan]

This it was a young 59-years-old captain with just 25,000 hours of experience and only 7000 hours in the airplane type, a tween-engine transport category jet.
Thanks God that they upgraded the requirement for first officers to at least 1000 hours total time.

This time it was not deadly, partially due to luck.
One person injured, one engine possibly severely damaged (by luck not both), and a captain that it is quite clear doesn't understand how a wing is flown.
And he declared he knew about the Pinnacle accident. No diet Pepsi or four-oh-one involved as far as I know, though.

Come on 3WE, start rationalizing why it is understandable that this pilot did what he did.

Careful, 3WE is going to tell you that blaming incompetent pilots is your home base.
