So this was the hotest topic as long as everyone thought it was equipment failure, but as soon as it was seen to be pilot error, it drops dead....not a single post...other than to challenge the source of the information suggesting pilot error.

Early theories of pilot error were quickly scorned, if not outright ridiculed.

That's interesting, as pilot error is the ONE thing flight crews have direct and immediate control over; but nobody seems interested in talking about that. It's highly frustrating from a safety standpoint.

That's all. I am speaking outside my range of experience but I was hoping to learn a few things by observing the discussion here. Instead, the lack of discussion is deafening.
