I'm really shocked to find out that most likely all of the deadly mistakes that day were committed by the F/O.
That doesn't let the Captain off the hook. At no point during a flight does the Captain relinquish command even more so when he is also the PF. Both pilots were making deadly errors that day but it is the Captain who was ultimately responsible for their consequence. He could have told the F/O to leave the gear down and he did not have to execute a go-around just because the F/O called for it. Some days the F/O's performance is not very good and some days the Captain's performance is not very good. On this day neither pilot was operating to even a minimum standard with unfortunate results.
