The lack of any meaningful effort to establish exactly their position prior to descent below MSA means one has to agree with Bob Thomson's comments that this crew thought "they were on a Sunday drive".
Nor was the descent procedure discussed amongst the crew in any meaningful way, they didn't discuss terrain clearance and never mentioned Mt Bird that that they easily could have hit if they had been where they thought they were. They simply saw a cloud break and down they went.
