No hard data yet

Unless I have lost my ability to search there has been no transcript, public playback, or even one direct quote from the CVR. Further, Boeing's memo on the FDR data fairly soon after the incident is pretty much the sum total from that box aside from some 'interpretations' during the Dutch presser. Meanwhile some of the more vociferous pilots here have been hanging the crew for various reasons but mostly for possibly violating the pilot code of 'be smarter than the machine or it will replace you'. On the other side some software types are pointing to this incident and saying 'see we need to make the software smarter to keep the pilots from making mistakes'.
Getting close to the definition of Catch-22 it seem to me.

Yes...that is generalizing but it seems to be the undercurrent for some of the last 30-40 pages in here. I agree wholeheartedly with those who have posted in here that we need to wait for all the data...a statement echoed repeatedly by the ATP licensed pilots that fly similar and larger aircraft that I interact with daily.
