The truth is that, when there's an aircraft accident, the NTSB almost

winds up blaming the pilot in their report. They will often assign
additional blame elsewhere, but the truth is that aircraft failures rarely
occur absent pilot input, and so pilot input winds up part of the report.

In this particular case, though, it appears that the [co]pilot was doing as
he was trained. If he was trained to do the wrong thing, it was the
training at fault and not the pilot.

As I read the article, while it does say that the pilot's actions caused the
crash, it does not appear to afix blame to the pilot.
