Alas poor Boeing.
Good grief! If you want to mitigate against the 'creativity' of the dumbest pilot in the room, buy Airbus and keep your fingers crossed nothing goes badly wrong. If you actually believe in the superiority of a properly trained crew and experience based airmanship, buy Boeing and get your ass behind evidence based training.
This crash was caused by fear of going off the reservation with Emirates famous balls-in-a-vice SOP regime. Let's just pause a moment. This aircraft would have landed long, but safely. Poor old Pavlov's dog. Screwed up approach for sure. Earlier go around a better idea for sure. Same as Ryanair and a growing number of others. "We legislate for every contingency." Follow the SOP with a truly missionary zeal and nothing can ever go wrong. Right? Do you own thing, demonstrate independent thought, judgement or, heaven forfend, airmanship (draw breath sharply) and several hurdles will appear in your immediate future.
Consider the provinence of nascent commanders these days. Straight into an FAR25 jet as first officer fresh from flight school with maybe 200 hours. Left hand seat three years later and all you've ever known is rigid SOP and a carefully constructed climate of fear if you dare to deviate. Bored with that after 1000 hours in "command" and off to bigger metal we go. Hooray! Then training department, for the fundamentalists, and even management for those truly devoted to doctrine.
Evolved SOP, CRM, lower authority gradients and all that good stuff still brings us to this point, time and time again. It ain't the manufacturers that have screwed the (Pavlovian) pooch on this one folks. Chicago lawyers take note.
