Sadly, all too often we see total reliance on the Flight Management Systems to the detriment of flying skills and with tragic results such as those at Phuket.
Yeah, does not apply in this case. These guys failed to bring the thrust up on a go-around. That is a private pilot type of mistake. This wasn't a case of heads-down automation confusion. This was a case of incompetence.

Next you are gonna say that the pilots in the Garuda crash in Indonesia had confusion as to what the speed the FMS was telling them to land at...
