Here's a thought. Hire more experienced pilots. Yes the captain apparently had quite a bit of time but if the F/O had been either A) more experienced or B) more forceful in speaking out (which usually comes with experience) this whole incident may have been avoided. I have flown the Dash-8 in and out of very challenging mountainous approaches in Canada for almost 5 yrs (alot of them being circling approaches) and have never heard of any of our planes having a problem. Of course we have 5000- 9000hr F/O's instead of 200hr wonders that paid for their type rating.
