look at that NTSB report, and while there look at the others, and the findings.

We can then go and do the soul searching about the "whys and how comes".
By doing this, we can then assist and help the concerned crew by pointing relentlessly to all the enemy factors we know so well. Simultaneously we should not let only accident boards, regulators, airlines and manufacturers go ahead with the inquiries and verdicts.
This is a profession, with professional responsibilities.

In transportation, truck, rail, and ship accidents, the driver, captain, or responsible person is held accountable.
The train driver who missed the signal has his license taken away, the truck driver who ran the red light has his license taken away, the boat captain who misjudged the pier has his license taken away.
So the aircraft drivers who try to land on a taxiway full of aircraft should be just a learning lesson?

How about this as a learning lesson.

FIRE them. Did you see what happened to the drivers from the 777 crash at Dubai..FIRED.

Complain about hours and circadian rythmns, ENFORCE the rules. Make your airline follow the rules.

In reality, blaming it on circadian stuff is equivalent to claiming your parents abused you. It is a trending psychological term, that was never in aviation. Just another term to avoid responsibilty for ones actions.
Just a few years ago, drivers just knew how to fly the aircraft, and did so in adverse conditions with no automation.

Complain about lack of training and understanding of the aircraft systems. Drivers learn them or fire them. Did you see that the NTSB report showed the driver of the Cogan disaster repeatedly failed, yet was still driving. FIRE THEM.
