Couple of pages back 10/14/11
2:10:14 is nine seconds after drop, an eternity if manual flight was necessary to control the ship post a/p. Even in NORMAL LAW, nine seconds can be too long to maintain control and formulate a Flight path. Our pilot had ten minutes since rest?
The PF was NOT the 2nd copilot recently back from rest, but the 1st copilot and had been in the cockpit since take-off. This was discussed at some length earlier in the thread... While it may not be earth-shatteringly important, these small details resonate with me, at least, and lend a lack of credibility to much of what you post - if the FACTS cannot be kept straight, why on earth should your hypothesis be any more accurate? This is not the first fact that has been stated as such, only to really be shown to be incorrect. I appreciate the "thinking outside the box" mentality, but just for creditabilities sake, please keep the facts straight!
