@ Mr. Wannabe
This is not a response to Lyman, as he is on my "soft ignore" list, this is for general information as to what was actually said on the CVR as opposed to what those with an agenda wish was said.
@Franzl - I accuse nobody, they're all pretty open about what they believe.
Hey, Mr. Wannabe,
Would you like an assessment from a dispassionate observer? I thought you would. Before this sub-thread gets nasty (or is it too late?), it needs to be said that there are few here who subscribe to a single agenda in assigning fault. Only a nincompoop would find this to be a one-cause accident.
It is crystal clear that:
1. Piloting was sub-par
1A. Therefore, training was insufficient
2. CRM was even worse than that
3. AB interface could be better in the interest of being, uh, "fool-proof"
4. Conditions for hand-flying were less than optimum.
Can't everyone participating in this latest, stupid argument agree on these points??? None of them are mutually exclusive.
