This accident was a "system" error, the system being Gulf Air and the DGCAM (civil aviation authority of Oman). This has been clearly highlighted in the report and the appropriate reccomendations made. Lets hope that there is a shake up within these bodies to tidy up an ongoing, festering problem. The crew were the end product of a poorly administered aviation system and whilst it can be seen by some that they directly caused the accident, they were in fact indirectly put there by poor administration and regulation. I am sure this type of situation is not unique to Guilf Air, many aviation bodies can learn from this to avoid another catastrophe of this magnitude.
