Looked at part of the hearing.
1. They almost ruled out a repetitive issue with PF display. Furthermore Artificial Horizon was unaffected, and apart from speed tape, F/O could still use conventional speed gauge or stby instruments. IF that happened again it could further irritate IMHO, but looks like it didn't happen.
2. The EFIS momentarily switched to alternate was not recorded on the FDR. I had assumed such looking at the recording resolution of this parameter
3. Yes, there's not much left to defend the First Officer
4. The Cpt contributed with late and lonely action
5. I was not aware of FAA missing deadlines by congress. The hearing contained somehow harsh critics for FAA taking decades to complete safety improvements like Pilot Records Database.
6. The same will happen regarding Image Recorders/CCTV?
Let's still not forget, this is "only" Cargo Operations. Lower count of potential victims.
And having this very Pilot been rejected on Cargo Airlines, he would possibly continue with crop dusters. Even lower count of potential victims like cows in a barn. Still ...
