Most threads here are so focussed on the old pro/anti airbus FBW philosophy, that you guys lost the complete picture! Im not sure how many of you know SBSP, but i can assure you any sim from MS to level D is much too decluttered to give you a feeling o approaching it. Doing training on a E190 (FBW) for a "special airport" certification, i learned that even though a landing might be practicable, given the many threats invloved prior to that mislanding a diversion and even a rejected landing should be considered. Consider the factors known to the captain at the approach: An ATR slipped off the RWY just one day earlier, Rwy contamination and heavy rain at the time, known poor rwy conditions, knowing rwy has no shoulders at both ends, knowing one reverse was inoperative, knowing they were at the high end of the weight limit (plus the last minute jumpseaters), inexperinced crew (at training) in an airport that requires special qualification, and for TAM policy does not allow FOs to land (not even on good wheater), still unfamiliar with aircraft (boeing offspring)... I think CRM wasnt unknoknw, why not practiced? What happened after touchdown, in my oppinion was so quick and all the discussion of what they did and what they could have done and what was wrong with the aircraft just weighs with bad luck... by the way, blaming the dead for the accident, neither brings anything back nor does it prevent similar situation...
