Very long time lurker...and I'm only an analyst here, but I needed to finally sign up to declare I'm team Yoko1.
Looks like he's fighting a modern day forum Battle of Thermopylae.
I, for one, find a bit of solace with putting some culpability on the crew. Training, circumstances, etc....doesn't matter to me...I want someone in the front that can recover from practically ANYTHING.
Throughout the webs, I've read other 737 pilots pov on this, and a lot of them agree that the crew has some blame here (ET302). And that's ok.
With hundreds of other catastrophic scenarios that can go wrong in flight, these forums don't reassure me that pilots are equipped with everyone consistently trying to put the blame somewhere else.
Keeping the throttles at full blast throughout is pretty crazy to me.
Certainly makes who and where I fly much more condensed and manageable if nothing else.
