CVR revisited
On the one hand, the sterile, "What's it doing now?" of the CVR may accurately reflect the nature of the conversation in the cockpit on this fateful flight. Furthermore, it may actually shield the pilots from greater criticism than that to which they have already been subjected. On the other hand, as an interested observer since Thread 1, I'd like to know if the pilots conducted themselves in the sterile manner depicted, or if they screamed profanitiy-laden abuse at each. My desire is not prurient, rather, the tone of the conversation will, in my opinion, yield a degree of context that is very much lacking in the report as presented.
