The medication at 45 hrs doesn't seem totally unreasonable, can that really be a factor that long?

The rest of course was an issue.

That is a reasonable question and the rules on that are given once reported to your AME. There are some medications that have a 90 day wait after the last known administration of the drug. The standard has and will always be that when you wreck a plane and blame malfunction you had better be 1000% correct because the manufactures will come at you with both barrels blazing in order to prove pilot error. I think it is more than obvious that in this case it was multiple pilot errors.

Lets set aside the flight computer programing errors, CRM, etc..

They failed to get the airplane airborne because they depended too much on automation!

Not quite sure why Capt chose to retard the throttles to idle versus firewall power
