The Dutch NOS is reporting the pilot only had 43 hours on the B777, and that this was his first landing at SFO with the 777. The pilot had 9793 hours in total, but the article does not say on which plane type(s).
According to the article the pilots only found out seconds before the crash the plane was in trouble. Just four seconds prior to impact the stick-shaker starter shaking. The pilot decided almost immediately to abort the landing, but at that time it was already too late. The tail hid the levy and broke off, after which the plane hit the runway out of control.
