Doors To Automatic:
That is an interesting question about both pilots' experience landing there.
I could be mistaken, but the tragedy which involved the Southwest B-737 and Chicago Midway (MDW) involved highly-experienced pilots who had probably been in and out of Midway numerous times, possibly with snow falling.
Maybe constant repetition, despite the snow on the ground, lulled those pilots into believing that with operative anti-skid, autospoilers and thrust reversers, the landing should have been no problem? It is even more tragic to remember that Chicago O'Hare has several much longer runways, with only about 10 minutes required to fly from MDW to ORD.
My question is whether those very experienced pilots (with that very short runway) in Brasil could have believed that they could deal with normal weather conditions, no matter how often it rains on that runway?
Years ago after a Lufthansa A-320 First Officer died after a (hydroplaning) landing on a wet runway in Poland, Airbus modified the software which links wheel spin-up to thrust reversers, autospoilers and the anti-skid.
