The inoperative fuel pumps and the emergency power unit usage are two glaring things that, to me, should have been covered in training. As soon as that basket breaks his training should have sent him down a different decision tree. Either it wasn't covered or it didn't take.

Command decisions were awful. You could argue that the fear of diverting to Kandahar that had been instilled in the pilots caused the loss of the aircraft.

Poor training and poor command decisions. Kind of scary, don't you think?

...I agree...They would have reported the inoperative fuel probe, so why did command not tell him about the fuel problem? If he didn't remember they should have.
