It makes me wild that they ignore fatigue.
Also statements like
Smith says the key lesson from the Emirates near miss is for pilots not to over-rely on computers. "It is a warning for all pilots to be very careful when they put something in a computer and we have to be careful not to overly rely on computers for calculations in aviation.
are not worth the paper they're written on. All airline pilots understand that inputting correct data is important. They all understand that they make many many more small errors when they are not well rested.
Fatigue played a significant role in this accident and the ATSB needs to say as much. If it does not it is playing a role in future fatigue related accidents.
