Let me rephrase my question. I don't think that following that particular checklist would get them "home free"...I was asking about the assertions of the "hot shots". I seem to remember a whole lot of people (to include Boeing) insisting that if they had only followed that checklist, all would be well. I suppose I could go back through something like 14 closed posts and 10,000 plus comments, and figure it out myself. I was just wondering if anyone else remembered it that way.
