A good read if you're interested in these sort of things. This is last year's Delta runway excursion report. The results of which are highly disputed my DL btw. I have only read the CVR transcript and here are some of the highlights.

The CA seemed pretty concerned with landing conditions. It appears he wanted all the info he can get to make a good decision. The FO was apathetic about it, was prompting the CA to just go for it (jokingly), made smart alec remarks, was offensive to flight attendants and quite a pervert. At first they both were rusty on winter ops but squared themselves away with reviewing their content locker manuals.

At the last bit of the CVR, the wind check requested gave them a tailwind which wasn't previously reported. The two jets immediately in front reported good braking. The rest is history. Haven't read nor commented on the findings.
