Capt, I''m specifically referring to this statement - more specifically the 'well trained' bit:
The airline also failed to ensure pilots were well-trained or well-rested, the suit states.
As to what's in the report, I may be wrong, but my suspicion is that the NTSB is going to say 'pilot error' and point to a sub-par pilot. The delay in releasing the report is that they want to make damn sure they've properly crossed all the t's and dotted all the i's before they hang the guy out to dry. I doubt they would be sharing that with the family ahead of time.
