Instrumentation Panel gave them no warning landing gear was down? I thought the cockpits were more advanced than this.

Were they primping and putting on make-up rather than watch their instruments?

Even if it doesn’t, they should have known something was wrong if they could only fly at 1/2 speed. Sometimes the computers don’t know everything.

But then we had a case of an American airliner crashing because the entire crew was attempting to fix a broken light bulb.

I would think that an Airbus A320 would have a cockpit alarm when the gear is not retracted after reaching a certain altitude.
I'm fairly certain this is a standard feature in almost all Boeing aircraft.

I suppose forgetting to retract the gear is better than forgetting to lower the gear.

No freaking way a true pilot, not a diversity hire from the turd-world cesspool, could NOT KNOW the gear was down.
No way.
Incompetence and stupidity.
The drag was very obvious (as even the females flying the jet discovered).
The gear and gear-doors have a speed they are not to exceed when the gear is still down. I imagine at the very least the gear doors were torn off or warped.
