Fair enough, but aren't you and the others who make the "guilty" call just a little bit curious about why this accident happened? Doesn't it seem odd that you have an experienced crew with about 27,000 hours between the three of them and no one noticed they were way below Vref?

In a way I envy people who can be so certain of their views when, in reality, they have no more data than the rest of us who have a natural curiousity and reticence to call the facts when they are not yet established.

For example, early on in this thread folks of your persuasion said well they're Korean so it must have been a meek FO too scared to stand up to the Captain....except it soon became clear it was a Captain, new to type, on his conversion course. Instantly their theory starts to unravel but don't let a few facts spoil your speculation frenzy. Anyway, if I have any sense I'll stop trying to preach my view. It's clear some people will drink from the fountain of knowledge and others just like to gargle.
