There should be criticism. If I had made those mistakes I would want to be criticised. I have a job to do and responsibility for peoples lives. When I screw things up I want to understand that and learn. The fact the P1 was facing a change in his career structure should have no impact on his performance. Call it professionalism.
It happened and they screwed up. The issue for me is is this a one off or is there a real problem out there with basic airmanship. If two trained crew on a B757 for Thomas Cook can not manage the situation they were presented with that day would you want your wife and kids in the back? God help them if they had a real problem.
