Not wishing to divert the topic completely away from this particular crash, but the comment has been made that the F/O, experienced or not, could have averted the crash with assertiveness. It has been said that this was a breakdown of CRM, and perhaps was a dig at the F/O. Consider the Air France A330 overrun in Toronto; the F/O was PF and the Captain kept crying "put it down, put it down" when he should have been crying "go around, go around", or executing it himself. There is fallability in both seats, bit only 1 carries the ultimate responsibility, PF or PNF.
