What a surprise. They are going to "FIX" pilot training.

They will never get it.
Aptitude, Training, Experience….. in that order.
All three are needed to be a SAFE, SEASONED, pilot. Sadly the tragedy of 3407 will be repeated because in the aviation world the aptitude of the individual is not evaluated. Experience (according to Roger Cohen) does not matter.
Civilian pilot qualification considerations focuses far too much on training. When an accident occurs…. more training. No one ever stops to ask: “Should this individual be flying a commercial airliner? Does this person have enough experience?” The answer is always, fix the training. Add more training.
News flash: The training is fine. It doesn’t need to be fixed. The pilots need to be evaluated for aptitude and experience level.
Clear now?
