NewsBreaker ‏@NewsBreaker 23s NEW: Pilot of Asiana jet ,that crashed at SFO, was in training; it was his first flight to the airport with the jet

Unbelievable. Considering the clear and calm weather and an unobstructed approach over the bay, this landing should have been simple. I'd hate to see how this pilot wold handle a tricky landing like Toncontin International Airport, Honduras.

The Captain was very experienced. That would mean that there was a trainee and a Captain. The trainee was then flying the plane at the time.

I guess we will see. This seems to be new information.
