A310, you'd never be suspected of THAT!
The recommendation the Legacy pilots be charged is part of the political process. Now that the Gol crash has been superceded by the TAM one all eyes focuss elsewhere; other witches to hunt and the congressional investigation committee have to allow everyone his or her five minutes of limelight.
Just for the record, a CENIPA colonel at a press conference yesterday was very incisive in saying "We are not interested in establishing blame, we are here to establish facts and help to ensure that accidents do not repeat themselves. And we do NOT release tapes or data prior to publishing the full report; in the case of the GOL accident we were specifically ordered to and had no option but to obey". He said more along those lines and there was a not inconsiderable dose of bitterness in his tone, at all the political meddling and second-guessing.
