So (assuming it is true as reported) it's the FAA's fault that the FO went skiing the day before the accident, then took a red eye to work to begin her trip...? Didn't they both have the day off before the accident...?

"Both pilots were returning to work after a day off. Capt. Renslow was coming off weeks of late-evening and early-morning flying schedules, often sandwiched around only a few hours of rest. Ms. Shaw had spent the day before the accident skiing. She then took a red-eye flight from Seattle to report for work in Newark."
