You would be surprised.180000 hours is a shitload, so I highly doubt it was the pilot's error.
Also can you keep he hashtag stuff to twitter plox
a) Could have been related to fatigue. The industry is notorious for crazy hours.
b) You can have loads of hours logged but the number doesn't represent the number of times the pilot/crew have dealt with dicey situations. For all we know, they could have had some of the best luck in aviation prior to this incident. To get to the point, they may lack the composure to make the right decisions quickly.
That being said, I don't think it is pilot-related as well.
