But the bulk of the PSA5342 criticism is leveled at AA and PSA for failure to properly train PSA flight crews about the risks of DCA ops.
At the height the collision occurred, there would never have been a TCAS RA.

For Chiefttp:
The question of currency, proficiency, and recency fairly leap off of the page, yes.

Inconvenient facts never stopped a lawyer from bringing a case to court, though.

No, it does not.

Wrong. Visual lookout is a responsibility for all members of the crew. That's a shared responsibility, and briefed before every flight. Note that in a Blackhawk, there are a variety of zones where the pilots are effectively blind (starting at about the four o'clock position and reaching to about 8 o'clock position) but the forward quarter isn't usually one of those. (Won't comment on the goggle issue here...)

Not just pre-flight checks.
I am not sure how much low level, over water, at night flying that you have done, but I have done quite a bit of that. If you are flying in such a regime, and there is a substantial mismatch between your radalt, and your baralt, and you have a hard altitude limit, you don't ignore your radalt.
