Well that doesn't sound like let's look into all the factors that led a crew of 3 who accumulated many thousand hours, including an F4 pilot (does the F4 have autothrottles?) to end up short of 18R?
That sounds more like but on this occasion it was the fault of the crew for not simply disconnecting and flying the plane.
Let's call the board and save the taxpayer some bucks.
Please advise if my brain unexpectedly went into RETARD (FYI, I did get the subtlety) .
