Sadly in the US there is an increasing tendancy to rapidly blame the crew for everything to try to avoid NTSB opening up training sytem and management issues.
A collective "US" vs the "world" comment like this is not appropriate to a valid argument. Contrary to what is often portrayed on discussion boards, investigators, advisory or government, are not involved in the blame game. The contributing factors are all considered and if the crew is in the chain either from omission, or causal then it's expected that the final recommendations will address the reasons for their involvement.

The most simple blame has a tendency to go to the lowest common denominator either mechanical or symptom "were it not for"........
However the presumption of an average skill crew response need also be weighed as an investigative finding in the final recommendations by the board in charge.
