I am not a pilot but just someone very interested in aviation. I watched the Mentour Pilot video this morning and a few things come to mind. First, from his record it appears to me that the Captain himself had many times preferred messy landings to the point where he didn't or couldn't distinguish them from dangerous ones. To lay blame on an FO when early in the approach the captain said "They'll be surprised we've done this' seemingly indicating that even before things began to go very badly wrong the captain himself knew they were close to the edge seems totally unjust. And unfortunately it also seems to me that if by some miracle i.e. gear being down so stopping just in time, they had made it, with this captain's attitude it would just have happened somewhere else at a different time.
