oldchina. I have no opinion. BEA reported STALL, then .6 seconds later, "What's that?" Tight timing for an exclamation of "What's that?" if only related to STALL WARN.
Have you considered the exclamation may be in response to BUFFET?
That would mean the PNF reacts to BUFFET, then STALLWARN sounds, (w/o cricket).
My point is that puravida has the exclamation prior to SV STALL.....
Of course the best, but still inconclusive, is that the exclamation post dates the STALL, but without excluding the possibility he was reacting to BUFFET, or some other artifact on the CVR.
BEA will do what they have to do, but without a complete, fully transcribed and indexed CVR, whatever conclusion they publish will not be ironclad, v/v the CVR.
There is an additional possibility from the French:
"What is that?.......THAT!!" As if he may be pointing to something and for emphasis, "SEE, THIS!"....... Or, he may be pointing to his ear, ("you hear?") etc......
I'd be wary of jumping to conclusions, of course.
