"There were many references early on to the possibility of additional people (non-crew) being on the flight deck for those last few minutes. I've seen nothing in conjunction with the release of the CVR transcripts to confirm or rebut that notion.
Anybody?...."
Poluk had answered; I've also read the 40, it's full of "A" comments throughout (un-recognised person, as explained in abbreviations at the end. Any of them un-recognised).
That is, indeed un-recognised a month ago. Since then recognised.
Many things are missing in that 2nd May transcript that were later made known by the Polish side, in giving snippets to the press.
For example if you remember discussions about that "Drugoi" exclamation of Captain. It's nowhere here. And all are still disputing was it address to the second pilot (the second/drugoi), instead of calling him by name, or call for a second turn/go-around, or call to look at another/drugoi altimeter.
Just in case here are the 40 pages again
