I doubt if the pitots would have iced up by flying through the rest of the stuff.
- see previous
My question is why did they choose not to deviate a long way away from a cell?
- so you know they didn't?
This may have been discussed before and I apologise if it is old ground.
- certainly has, and we are forever pointing out that there is NO evidence they did fly in or near a cell. You have around a week of reading to do I think - it is all on PPrune somewhere in one of the many threads.
The rest of your statements I agree with, and there are few who support the absence of the Captain. In view of your career it may interest you to know that some of the 'old' BOAC/BA chaps I contacted in 2009 assured me that they would always 'take their rest as rostered' regardless???.
I am sorry to say that your story of your KingAir and Hawker 'adventures' leads me to say you got what you deserved and it should have been little surprise. Was the radar u/s?
