Sorry, but I'm not speculating.
I've got good info about the ONLY communication.
Going into bussiness: if you're in the NEED OF AN OXMASK, are carrying your family & dogs and make a call to the traffic controller DON'T YOU ASK FOR A DESCENT PERMISSION?
More: if you're with the mask ON and talking to the control you're surely ON YOUR SEAT.
What made you go into the cabin?
Three chasing observers said nobody was seen in the cockpit.
Too confusing...
