Serious errors, apparently: reportedly the PNF had not selected the Ditch switch, nor notified the cabin crew of ditching.
Would disagree with your highly unfair and accusatory conclusion

If USAir use the Airbus QRH, and lost the engines (as they seem to) the drill is not a Memory drill, and runs to 4 pages. One of the actions you mention is halfway down p4

Unprepared ditching is, this side of the pond, dealt with in the cabin. The normal prep for ditching takes 10+minutes... If any "Brace" PA was made (seem it was) well done the FC

I trust your post is seen as sufficiently uninformed as to be deleted by the Mods, rendering my reply a waste of time...
