Can I ask a question... the AA 106 crew refused to be interviewed on multiple occasions if the interview was going to be recorded in any way. What possible excuse is there for their adamant refusal to be recorded? What rules and regs are in place that might require cooperation with an FAA or NTSB inquiry?
I have other questions about why that flight was allowed to complete its flight to LHR? What was emotional state of the flight crew? They were told to make a phone call. Who had the authority to tell that crew to return to their terminal? The tower supervisor? Obviously the event took on a life if its own by the time they arrived in London. What happened to that flight crew after reaching the UK? Did they crew a return flight two days later as they would have done on an ordinary rotation?
