The day of the accident was the first day of flight duty after a 16-day vacation period.

Body was in the plane, mind still on the beach? :)

Maybe. More likely a consequence of the 5.30am start - probably assume an hour and a half to get to work, then 45 minutes before that to get ready leads to a wake-up at 3.15am.

And on a related note, which prat designed the aircraft such that the "weight-on-wheels" switch is on the nose gear?

...probably after 16 days of (relative) lie-ins? Completely understandable.

That was my feeling too. Good design should cater for prats who make mistakes. Presumably they were lucky that it was a longish runway, lightly loaded? Does that paricular type of ircraft have a history of this?
