That crew was very lame itself.
Not qualified to be PIC.
Had been flying an unairworthy aircraft WITH PASSENGERS.
Another PIC knew of the problems and didn't write them up - just verbal debrief (?)
Psuedo-PIC knew of the issues having flown as SIC the previous 4 flights and still didn't perform the procedures on landing.
This mishap reeks of the stink that shady 134.5 operators bring onto the industry IMO.

Just my 2 cents: I think anytime there is that much blatant disregard for rules / regulations that the question of oversight would naturally come up. The NTSB report seemed very thin considering some of the factors involved with this crash. Sometimes shining a spotlight on the undermanned / underfunded agency tasked with ensuring the safety of the flying public might not be a good idea.

What if they knew about trying to get it back up working again but the flights were under the table?
Did this company already have a 'rap sheet' with the POIs?
If they did I could see tighter scrutiny, if not until something happens....
