Russia: Crashed pilot may have had fake license
MOSCOW — The Russian pilot who sent a Boeing 737 into a near-vertical dive, killing all 50 people on board, might have had a fake license, Russian investigators said Friday. Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said his team believes that some pilots working for small regional airlines in Russia have not been properly trained but managed to get fake licenses in centers certified by the country’s aviation agency.

Fake license...Wow. Just WOW!
It happens far more often than you probably think it does
You know, this event "sucks" as well as "UPS", "Asiana", "Colgan", "SWA"!!!
What the hell is going on? No "ATP" license...no sleep...I'm scared to fly manually at SFO! Are you kidding me? No excuses for these disasters that took many lives and crippled many others! Let's revamp the training system... and make it universal. Let's look at duty times...look at who the. hell is qualified to fly the the bird! This is a global situation here and everyone has to be on the same page. Don't know what the answer is but as an aviator, something has to be done to prevent these situations from happening. Especially so often. There is a missing link here and it's not pretty.

In addition- can you imagine what the poor souls went thru during those last 45 seconds? Don't think that they passed out from a major gravitational pull...they had 45 seconds of pure terror! God bless them all and R.I.P..
I do not think the Russian airliner did anything of the sort. The Russian comentor "said" the pilot pushed over to a vertical position, but there is no way to push the yoke that far. There is not enough elevator authority to do that. No way. He had to have pulled back, stalled and rolled into a vertical dive. That is the only way to get THAT nose low -vertical - from a go-around.
The vertical crash is a classic stall/spin scenario. It would have to have been a nearly negative "g" loading and even a screwed up, spatially disoriented pilot wouldn't push past 30 or 40 degrees nose low. And the plane would push back. I believe the initial report that the pilot pushed over was pure speculation not based on FDR data.
My suggestion is to be very cautious about flying on certain foreign airlines - and Russian airlines, especially domestic airlines have a terrible accident record. Stay on a US or European airline if you can - or a code-share partner if possible.

I think you are right... the ole idea... Push down, go down... Pull back go up, pull way back... Go Down Faster.
