UF, the crew WERE qualified, that's the point. They didn't wake up that morning and decide to have a bad day, they were at the sharp point of the intersection of reality and practices. they probably wont do it again, but they are not the first, and will happen again. DId they make assumptions or have expectations that were different to the real world, absolutely, as almost all accidents outside of UA 232 etc have had.
The QB APPR is less than desirable with the Airbus architecture. Why are we doing them at all?
The AC crew didnt design the lights of the taxiways, nor did they design the airport that places runways too close together.
