They might or might not have briefed their contingency plans but from the "uber CVR" we had here it seems that execution was lacking, to say the least.
If what is described in the report is a fair representation I'd say we are faced with very poor airmanship. I don't know if that flight could have been saved (seems they had a lot going against them) but it would appear that amazing luck was their only redeeming quality.
