I don't claim anything here as truth, but yes, I can permit myself to be open to the possibility of mechanical failure. I am also open to the possibility of pilot error. You are the one claiming my theory is one to a million.
I was referring to this :
So, again, IMHO "desacelera" replied by a "não dá" is an indication that something wrong happened with the right TL, not a simple "forgotten TL" thing...
As I said, it could have been about anything.
Finally, you claim I didn't answer any of your tecnical questions. This is not a contradiction? Why would someone like you want to know anything from the last one here who can know anything?
Actually, they were technical
points which have never been picked-up by either of you. Not discussed, not answered. You just switched onto another angle.
As for cuecas, mine are quite safe as I have not concentrated on just ONE possibility - i.e a faulty TLA feed-back - in order to exonerate the flight crew.
I hope I have shown that I've kept a much larger picture in mind.
As you are in the mind for reading, please have a look at
THIS FAA study on "
The interfaces between flight crews and modern flight deck systems"
Maybe then you'd understand some of our concerns, although it is rather long.

P.s : Sorry, PBL, I stole it from your archives, but you already know that I have been a rather keen reader of your works.
