Salute!
Thanks, infrequent, good post about previous flight; And I would not trust all what is being bandied about concerning the extra set of eyes on that previous flight. Did that dude know about MCAS? I doubt it. Was he holding up to 40 or 50 pounds of a vibrating wheel? Ws he looking about to see if he could help? Probably. Was he more likely to notice the trim wheel moving more than the normal STS movement? Maybe. Maybe he was one of the Yeager, Doolittle or Lindbergh clones we have here or like Luke? "Something ain't right, R2, let's go manual!"
So I will like to see his actual interview and description of what happened.
As far as the other previous crewmembers go, I really feel they did a fatal disservice to the accident crew with their log entry. No mention of the stick shaker or turning off the stab trim motor and so forth. We won't know exactly what they did until they testify in one of the lawsuits. I am sure they won't say a word before then, and maybe the dead head troop won't either.
As with Mick, I am cutting the accident crew some slack.
