Do pilots study crash reports?

xcitation's question
Surely FO would have read and discussed the AF447 reports several times so I am incredulous that a french pilot on similar type could ignore his grim replay.
begs another question I have always wondered about:

How many working pilots actually read these reports in detail? Do they have the time? Or the interest? I imagine the answers to this are all over the map. It would seem, in the absence of any pertinent facts that, had FO studied the report, a lot of ppl would still be walking around the planet.

I know a certain pilot who blogs about piloting, and after a brief initial discussion on AF447, it was obvious that he had little interest in any of he nuts-and-bolts of that crash. Maybe complacency is part of this problem.
