The campaign has had 11 years.
Its strategy appears rely on nothing being known sufficiently to justify the verdict in parallel with a fruitless effort to blame some technical malfunction (for which there was no evidence in this case) in a complex beast which would be hard to achieve even if it was the case. This strategy has the unfortunate effect on interested parties in that they fear any in depth analysis of other aspects of this flight (eg navigation) may spoil this strategy – self censorship, if you like.
All that could be hoped for is the benefit of the doubt being given to the pilots which, while achieving the prime objective of the campaign, would effectively end interest in the case after such a long period of time.
Don’t these pilots deserve better than this?
If they had been tasked to do anything extraordinary that could have had an impact, should this not be established so that they could be clearly exonerated?
If such happened, should not those responsible for this extra tasking be brought to account?
Contributors to this site have the opportunity to establish clearly some basic parameters of the flight that may help others not of an aviation background continue an investigation should this be warranted. To date, the most basic parameters have been left confused.
