I think Boeing is getting smacked in the face by a change in pilot skill levels and areas that has been happening around the world since the 90's.

Boeing is in a really bad position to specify minimum training requirements, since any time they ask for more training requirements of their customers, the customers ask for more money back. So its good that the FAA wants to enhance training requirements.

Based on some of the things that have happened around these two accidents and others recently, I think the increased training should encompass more core skills as well.
