Annex 13, paragraph 3.1 states that the objective of the investigation is not to apportion blame
or liability. This is also reminded in the chapter 2 of your draft report. Therefore, the BEA
suggests re-wording some parts of the draft final in order to soften the criticism towards the
crew."
Sadly, it would appear that this comment did not make into the final version as the report definitively apportions blame on the crew."
Oh, I don't know. Maybe it is about time that the proper words were actually said. In this case, it appears that the captain was an AXXHOLE. Seeing as the report did not actually say that, perhaps it has been understated.
