soft target

as always, pilots are the soft targets whenever something like this happens. there seems to be no accountability on flight safety who continued to advise that approach in the said airport should be continued and diversion avoided or despatch who did not report the correct weather and neither was the acars updated. the assumption here is that the pilots acted solely at their own discretion, which is incorrect. They were making decisions based on inputs given to them, garbage in-garbage out. Do not condone what the pilots did, but it is a larger base that needs to take the blame, not just the pilots.
