might have got away with it if they hadn't botched the last go-around.
True - but they would have got away with it if, when the PF pushed the throttles past the gate and then pushed them forward again, the aircraft would have climbed for the go-around instead of banking to the left. The reason it didn't was because of the differential power fault (sorry to keep banging on, but read the report thoroughly). The crew were indeed tired because they left late because they were fixing seats - a job they were not trained to do and which should have been done by the night crew who had flown the Royal Mail charter on the previous flight. They were not trained because the company who employed them did not train them. And so it goes on. The ultimate fault lies, I'm afraid, with the EU legislation which allowed, and still allows, this sort of tangled web to happen.
