Wasn't going to look at any more "leaks" but that sounded just too interesting - thanks for the link.
To me the most interesting thing is not what it says, but that it appears to completely contradict the earlier leaks. If the crew did everything by the book and still ended up in irrecoverable stall, then (IMHO) it can't possibly be true that the aircraft is exonerated and the crew at fault.
At least one set of leaks is therefore wrong - and always possibly both. Roll on tomorrow.
