I mentioned early on in this thread that the uncommanded retraction of the flaps by the f/o was greatly disturbing to me.

I agree with you that this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I can imagine, as I previously posted, that both pilots had talked about tailplane stall before their time was recorded on the CVR...and of course this wasn't a tailplane stall....but they reacted as if it were.

there are great pilots with 2500 hours and terrible ones with the same flight time...why did I pick twenty five hundred hours...CAL had it when he flew NY to paris.

...that's Charles A. Lindbergh to you newbee pilots.
