My apologies for the misunderstanding
My comment was not meant to attribute a judgement on the PF or other flight crew's personal characteristics but on the flight deck performance. For this I hold Air France culpable. Their policies and culture and lack of training set up this flight crew ill-equipped for the situation they faced and the poor individuals were out of their depth. I rather regard this as a tragedy for not only the passengers but for the flight crew as well. They too were let down.
