What fully qualified captain would hold the controls all the way back for 3 and a half minutes?
The Captain of Birgenair 301 and the Captain of ColganAir 3407 for starters.
If I may beg to differ....

The captain of CG3407 had failed several checks.
The only qualifications whatsoever that I hold for commenting is that I have read
all of the posts in
all of the AF447 threads!
