Lake...allow me to disagree, a visual approach or any approach for that matter involves speed monitoring, basic scanning....A/T on or not. This was not a speed excursion, we are taking about 30 knots. In a cessna if your approach speed decreases 30%, you crash. The automatics in a 777 are quite straight forward, in FLCH you pitch for speed, throttles at idle....VNAV you thrust for speed throttles move to look for the window speed. I have to stand by my comment, this was about training, company culture and rusty, if existent, basic flying skills. I wouldn't even hold these guys accountable if throughout the years they were told that they were competent.
