Of course, during taxi conversations are supposed to be limited to topics required for the safe operation of the flight, which the NTSB have chosen to ignore here. The captain certainly seemed emotional, and neither of them were probably in the best mental state to handle an engine failure, especially given the conversation they'd been having not two minutes before it occurred.
It is indeed interesting that the NTSB have chosen to sweep this under the carpet. I wonder if it would be different if they'd been discussing, say, soccer, rather than the captain's apparently rather extensive list of grievances with one of his co-workers.
As part of the Safety Board’s accident investigation process, the flight crew was
invited to review the CVR transcript and suggest corrections or additions. They
declined the invitation.
I wonder why
