73qanda, et al,
There is no single method of resolving situations like this. Training is not a solution for every situation, neither automation.
Whatever we might think we have trained pilots to do, not everyone will act in that way, or see situations as trainers or rule-makers expect us to see; training has no guarantee of success.
Automation has a place, but every new automatic feature has ability to introduce its own situation-related hazard.
These safety situations are never ending challenges, often unsuitable for conventional intervention, thus require alternative views, thoughts and action, often all in combination. Without change all that we might do is chase our own tail, reactive safety, continually debate cause and 'solution' for what we might judge as low probability low risk situations, and then without agreement or action. All we do is fix the last accident, but its the next one which will 'get' us.
In this accident training might have helped, so too a better design of automation. Our choice is with hindsight, where the challenge is to foresee such situations and avoid them, require improved technology and the best of human abilities to manage situations which we have difficulty in imagining.
