Well, training that emphasizes automation rather than manual flying and thinking (an even bigger issue in Eastern countries, see Asiana on SFO) but that carries over to the top levels.
People that train on the subject because it "pays well" or because of fame rather than because they like it.
People that have some other favourable attributes to flying Emirates.
Lack of CRM on the cockpit.
But anyway, these are contributing factors. You could argue that checklist are an automation step and those guys missed it. Apparently 4 people were fired, and I really can't disagree with this.
