One could not find a better example of a pure and simple pilot error.

NTSB is investigating whether the pilots had coffee that morning, and
how much sleep they got. This is a futile exercise.

Well. So much for amateur opinions.

Tell me, Andrew, in whatever field it is in which you call yourself
professional, are you also in the habit of reaching conclusions without
gathering pertinent facts? Do you approve or disapprove projects without
considering relevant factors?

Time was, I used to make absolute statements like yours when researching
aircraft accidents. It was a long time ago. I was 20, still in school.

John, I agree with Andrew based upon the facts already known. If
further information shows that something happened that would have made
almost all other pilots do the same thing then I will admit that my
opinion was incorrect and premature.

I doubt that it will turn out this way.
