The captain seems to get pretty good reviews in the personnel interviews:

I also got the impression from the CVR of a good operator. Let's remember this guy is a 20000hr+ pilot we had flown for US Airways amongst others. He knew what he was doing. The personnel interviews shows he has no problem taking the landing if he feels it's necessary.

And no doubt he will rue the lack of a go-around for the rest of his days. But boy the armchair critics can be unforgiving. I guess you have to take that when you're in the hot seat. I think it's easier for people to try and make you out as an incompetent fool after an incident rather than acknowledge that the same can happen to them. One mistake, uncorrected.
