Lack of grooved surfaces, hell, lack of piloting.

I really hope that you work for the NTSB and have collected all of the FACTS about this incident if you are going to claim that this was caused by lack of piloting. If that is not the case, I think you need to take a step back and try thinking before you speak. The real problem here is that Canada has decided not to groove runways and an airline has jet aircraft with no thrust reversers equipped on them.
Accidents happen to good pilots and not so good ones. No Monday morning QB's needed here. Until the facts come out, lets just be thankful that no one was hurt. Airplanes are easier to fix than people are. Hopefully more info will be available soon, guess I ain't flying 840 on this trip.
