Old and horrified
Its actually quite easy and nothing to do with what button does what in what circumstance. These two bozos simply forgot the basics of how to fly. The big question is how and why.
The big question is indeed 'how and why'!
If a certain button produces the result you want on 99% of occasions you've ever used it, and if seeing a positive climb before raising the gear has ALWAYS worked before....
Then there lies a trap. Which needs to be well understood. Well briefed and perhaps most importantly well TRAINED!
Calling people 'bozos' simply because they fell foul of their human failings tells us more about the person using that term, than the individuals at the sharp end of a very, very long chain of the decisions of other people!
Fortunately, in the 21st century, in some parts of the world, there is a more enlightened approach than yours, which has an infinitely greater chance of saving future deaths!
