Farepilot and others here,
We seem to concentrate on who is at fault and not on the multiple other reasons behind this crash, which bears similiaraties with many other accidents/incidents we saw in the past.

We keep telling ourselves here, it is cultural, pilot errors , lack of CRM, ATHR malfunction or whatever we know best, mainly to ease ourselves in the belief that since we are not Koreans, know how to use automation and have a sound CRM and just culture in place in our own environment , such thing could not happen to us.

If you want to prevent reccurrence and improve Safety today we should be looking as systemic issues to improve that system , just not apportion blame ( or fault) to a few individuals and move on .

For me, just looking at the facts list so far, training ( in broad sense), ability to maintain hand flyings skills , crew pairing, airline SOP , ATC , Crew briefings, Notams redaction and decoding, etc..should also be looked at carefully in addition ,and then get a broader view as to why a basic task such as monitoring airspeed was not performed.
Then instead of blaming individuals, and identifying the probable causes, also propose how to correct all those issues.

Then we need to have a strong regulator who will enforce those recommendations.
Maybe then we will start to see these kinds of accidents disappear.
