Rainboe,

Now you've gone one step too far.
Anyone makes mistakes.
Unfortunately, the Swiss Cheese holes aligned on this flight with the known consequence.
Yes, the crew appeared to have failed in recovering a situation that they partly put themselves in.
yes, the accident shouldn't have happened, tell me one that should have...

Time to reflect on the fact that none of us are perfect, including you.

A professional pilot is a pilot who has the ability to recognize his/hers or someone elses mistakes and corrects it in a timely and appropriate way to ensure the continuous safety of the flight.

In this case however, workload or third factors prevented this recognition for one reason or another.

Let me end with a recapitulation of the DEFiNITION OF SAFETY.:

Safety is the CONDITION of RELATIVE absence of danger
