Rainboe,

I must admit, I fully agree with your last post.
This accident has happened primarily due to the crew not flying the aircraft.
Boeing is not the big culprit here, although I learned new issues with the autoflight system while following this topic which I have never seen written in any Boeing-manual.

The Turks need to face the fact and ADMIT that in this case, their crew is largely to blame for the accident. Lessons must be learned by all, including you and me and our operation will hence become hopefully that more safe.

If the Turkish people will refuse to take a large part of the responsibility on their shoulders, then they show that they have a looong way to go before any chance in joining the EU, and full EASA member for that matter.
