I listen to what those with relevant experience tell me. Unless and until your wife and all your family bombard me with suggestions that your favourite colour is red, and until I see that you have a red car and wear red shirts and a red hat, I wouldn't dream of questioning your colour choice.

I only wish that some-one could allay my fears and concerns over all of the factors which have been mentioned in this and other threads. I don't prtend to know better than anyone - my role is to weigh and evaluate what evidence others bring to the party.

I would take your opinion much more seriously had you not attempted to undermine the credibility of other experts by casting generalised aspersions at their technical competence, and had you not expressed such contempt and disregard for rules, regulations and procedures. Flying should never be an intuitive game.

Finally, you are factually incorrect. The aircraft did not crash because it was on fire. It crashed because the crew lost control (which may or may not have been as a result of control problems caused by the fire). The aircraft crashed because drag exceeded lift.
