Glass Houses
Accidents/incidents are always a CHAIN of events leading to a pile of poop.
Why did the FO not tell the captain that the ATIS, which he copied, advised taxiway A1 was closed (even after it was included in the after landing part of the briefing)? What part did he play in the confusion after landing when the ATC suddenly told them to turn right on RWY 16 while completing the landing roll? Would any of this have happened if the facts had been at the captain's disposal?
While no-one disputes that the captain carries the final responsibility, I think a bit of brown stuff may have attached itself to the FO too!!!
