Whoa, as a former pilot (fortunately not in the US) I agree with your comments about CRM and some other things but when you cite culture as a reason for an aircraft crash, don't be surprised when there's some backlash. No matter how strongly you feel about the incident, it comes across as extremely disrespectful.
Now if you're referring to
company culture and you are personally familiar with the cockpit culture at AF, disregard everything I said. But I somehow doubt it.
