Re: They had a choice
If they start blaming the pilots they turn a bad choice into something much worse.
As well as opening themselves up to an anti-defamation suite of truly epic proportions. I don't know about Africa, but in Indonesia, like the rest of South East Asia, face is definitely a thing. This last attempt to blame the pilots for an accident caused by a defective plane might be enough for serious litigation.
