Lyman,
It is occasionally extremely difficult to act without "equality" in the cockpit, that is my point.
B-but Lyman, that was supposed to have gone out with high-button shoes, or at least hula hoops, after numerous accidents were blamed on poor/no CRM. How could, in this day and age, cultural customs trump professional procedure???
And, if there was such a problem, it seems to point to: they would rather die (and kill everyone else) than speak out-of-turn! It's hard to fathom. I'm wondering something that can never be answered: Were they both so panicked that they froze and forgot everything? (Deer, headlights.) It sure looks that way.
