Far as I'm concerned, if fatigue was a factor (as it was ruled to be), ever other point is moot.
If the NTSB had ruled the pilots were intoxicated, everyone would immediately assume that all other errors comitted on this flight stemmed directly from their intoxicated state. THE SAME SHOULD BE ASSUMED FOR FATIGUE.
Nice to see the NTSB put in at least 5 points that either directly or indirectly addressed fatigue.
I have no doubt the NTSB desperately wants to change the duty time/rest rules, but lacks the authority to do so.
