prospector, re Hawkins, his case demonstrates the reason the truth will never be known. He stated he went down to 6,000, his F/O said they stayed at 16,000, a reporter said he was told by one of the pilots they went to between 1,200 and 1,300 and wrote an article to that effect, while a passenger understood the flight went down to 1,000. Being the Flight Manager Hawkins came under the management umbrella and might be expected to toe the company line of nothing to see here. We will never know, the orchestrated litany of lies quote did come about for good reason after all.
