I don't believe I would ever be professional enough to get my crew into that situation.
Take a moment to think about the situation had this pilot not have been lucky enough to get away with what appears to be yet another CFIT. Methinks there are some who would not hasten to the defence of this pilot.
By all means learn from her mistakes, but at least recognise that there were a series of mistakes. Whether you think making the mistakes was a display of professional airmanship is up to you. I have my own thoughts.
