Yes, the accident was largely due to pilot error and not simply due to lack of rest, but that's no excuse for failing to use it as an example of how the system is broken. Get on board with fixing it, pal.
The rest period prior to duty in was 16:56. The duty day was 9:49 with 5 hours of flight time. Far above even the most strict proposals for change. How would you change the rules in this case?
