The only disconcerting thing was that their runbooks don't seem too well organized. At one point the flying pilot was looking at the wrong section of the book and had to be corrected... don't know what that was about.

Unless you're on Asiana or another provider where junior crew are taught to defer to the superior at all times. Which is a problem most of the industry recognized a while back and thus makes sure that the staff is usually around the same level of seniority.

The low fuel was noticed by co-pilots who were not assertive about the seriousness of the issue to the more senior captain. As a result the NTSB made a specific recommendation that all crew members be taught to be assertive.
