Boggles at the depth and pernicious level of airline pilot apologism there is on this forum.

So flying on sunny days is dangerous now? Auto throttle not working is an emergency event?
Thank you. 3 pilots - automation either failed or was used improperly - plane crashed while attempting a landing. Either way - isn't it the error of the pilot for allowing the speed to drop that low? If not - who's fault is it?

I don't care how many ways you slice it - the THREE pilots watched (or ignored) the aircraft's speed degrade below safe levels and tried to compensate when it was too late. It's not like the aircraft's automation reconfigured the aircraft and caused the accident . . .
