I'm not sure if you are saying that you think the crew on that day (AF358, YYZ) were "screwing the pooch", but if so, you are wrong. That accident -- like most -- was the result of many factors, including everything from AF SOP's, ATC procedures, YYZ Airport Authority procedures, Wx, comms, training (including AF, Nav Canada, and YYZ Airport Authority training). Holes were lining up in that particular cheese long before that day. A lot more started lining up in the 30 mins before the accident. By the time the aircraft was on final, dozens of holes were lined up and ready . . .
