Info

Info that may or not be confirmed but I read:
a) the two pilots flew from Congonhas to Porto Alegre on the same day before coming back to Congonhas.
b) both had more than 14000 hours of flying.
c) one of them flew many years (20) for Transbrasil on 767. In 2001 worked from September to December at GOL (Boeing 737). In January
2007 started at TAM and up to recently was in training for the A-320
plane. The other was with TAM since 1987.
d) TAM did not incorporate the modifications that AB suggested after the Taiwan accident. For some reazon this was not mandatory by AB. Why?

And...a question:

Why one of the pilots said that he couldnīt do it after the other asked him to decrease acceleration?
