CRM eh?
Well obviously the CRM failed on this one.
I do wish the authorities would realise that ramming CRM courses down aircrews' throats doesn't make one jot of difference.
Those most in need of practising it DON'T, yet I bet their currency was up to date. Most of us who believe in it (despite all the name changes over the years) practise it anyway, we always did.
Worst thing is that most companies know who these people are but don't take action because otherwise (if they're not careful) THEY can be prosecuted for harassment and the like as most of these things are based in hearsay (but no less accurate for that).
So really, this is another Human Factors accident and quite frankly an impossible position for just about all those involved (the live ones anyway).
CRM is assessed in OPC/LPCs these days. Is there any evidence that crew have been suspended (not hanged) because their CRM was not up to an acceptable standard?
It would be an interesting exercise for the competent authorities NTSB / AAIB inspectors to peruse the relevant personal documentation.
