> so I don't think they are horrible human beings

I don’t think anybody thinks that they are horrible human beings. The article is certainly not implying that in any way about the copilot. The captain clearly has failings, as described by the article, but it is not implied in any way that he is a terrible human being.

> some major scapegoating of flight crew

I disagree. They had a perfectly flyable airplane and crashed it almost killing themselves. That is not good airmanship.

Yes, all of those other things were also factors. I totaly understand that. The point of hearing stories like this is to understand what went wrong and how we can learn from them to not commit the same mistakes. Zero scapegoating.
