I'm also curious about whether the two pilots responsible for flying the plane on the 28th had any hesitation about following the suggestions of the third pilot. Perhaps he was an instructor or the carriers chief pilot?
. The captain had accumulated 6,000 hours of total flight experience, the first officer 5,000 hours. -

I recommend reading the entire AVHerald pages on these incidents.
