I agree with you 100%. FAR's state that the PIC has full command and authority over his/her craft and crew without limitation. That specifically includes taking an airplane to the correct runway...and for whatever reason he didn't. The f/o being second in command didn't notice or correct that problem either. You sometimes here controllers jokingly say that they are the ones that are in control of an airplane, but we all know its the two individuals up front. As pilots, we have all made simple mistakes in the cockpit and can appreciate how terribly wrong things can go under the right circumstances.

Having said all that, my heart goes out to her and to the f/o. They both have a long road ahead. After losing her husband and their children losing their father, hearing the findings of the NTSB in federal court has to hurt more than throwing salt on an open wound. There is simply no good outcome for anyone involved in this tragedy. It may not have taken the most lives, but in my opinion, its still one of the worst because it could have been so easily prevented. May he and everyone else who passed that day rest in peace!
