Ptcay, be a sport.
I didn't need to know ARRAKIS' "pilot's license number"
to see his point:
Protasiuk had been a party under the Presidential pressure long before the Smolensk flight, as he was a member of the crew in the "Tbilisi Flight" (the FO) and in its aftermath. That is an interesting element for us to understand Protasuk's state of mind /mindset. All that said, we do not know how, if at all, it was a factor in the sequence of events.
