Absolutely! And well said. It was a simple case of the Aeromexico crew not doing the 'pilot thing'. SFO literally has hundreds of movements a day that go without incident. Professional pilots in a multi-crew environment should be capable enough to follow ATC instructions and clearances without incident.
