Dagger Dirk:
My thoughts exactly. I rather suspect the investigation will reveal something akin to what you suggest. A fresh crew performing a routine task in a homebase environment is not "pilot error" material (whatever THAT means), and I suggest we owe it to the memories of those lost, not to speculate randomly as to their performance.

Using this dreadful accident to pedal your slovenly pro-Swissair/anti-Crossair agenda is appalling even by your standard. You're a disgrace to the profession.
God Bless all involved and effected.
