I'm not trying to argue for or against any pilot.
It is called 'outcome bias'.
I wouldn't bother wasting your time reading through this thread; it is full of nonsense written by 'keyboard warriors' biased by preconceived ideas, hearsay and snapshot press reports. Read the full AAIB report instead and you will learn that there is a lot more to this terrible disaster. It is a superb report although it does seem shallow on 'human factors' which were explored in far more substantive detail during the court case.
