I tend to lean in your direction....of opinion...
Whilst there is a lot of circumstantial evidence to suggest that the pilot may have had cause....there is some evidence that suggests that he did not...
I guess the real problem is that the effort to really identify the truth and make it public in the interest of Aviation Safety does not seem of paramount importance by all parties involved... Rather, the result as it stands at present is okay with the airline, the manufacturer and all others involved..
The losers here are the Next of Kin and the flying public as a whole...Very Sad indeed that apparently, BIG business and politics wins again..
One day, the truth will be known...It may take a while but I am confident that whomever is responsible for the SilkAir 185 crash will be identified one day.. Fate/Karma has a way of dealing with this type of event..aswell as committed Next of Kin who continue on with their quest for the truth..
