Default Frontline documentary on the problems with regionals

The accident itself is still a mystery to me. I only saw the first
half of the show, but that part made it look like the crew made some
very fundamental errors; not maintaining airspeed, and a very strange
response to the stall. Has there been any other analysis (made
public) that explains the captain pulling back on the stick during the
stall?


During the last hearing held by the NTSB, that agency made it clear that pilot
incompetence and lack of experience were the probable causes of the accident.
The pilots made multiple serious mistakes that accumulated until a crash
occurred. They failed to maintain a sterile cockpit, they reacted improperly
to the problems they experienced again and again, etc. A competent flight deck
crew would have easily avoided the crash, and could have dealt with the
problems successfully even if they were somehow allowed to occur.

Overall the NTSB was very hard on the pilots. The aircraft was fine, and
weather does not appear to have been a factor.

If you watch the NTSB animation you can see many mistakes being made, even if
you're not familiar with the specific aircraft in question.
