I don't like pointing the finger at a dead pilot. I really don't. I mentioned that with only dribs and drabs of data instead of actually having the CVR transcript and FDR data, we are left to our own ideas.

AVIATION World Wide would be better served by the indonesian govt releasing all data right now.

Xcitation...I have seen company men try to fix things instead of just writing them up and having the plane grounded for awhile.

Anyone know if AirAsia is represented by ALPA or another pilot union?

One other thing that is eating at me is the age of the copilot vs hours. Is it possible the captain saw an older copilot and figured he had more flying time than he really did? The copilot was 46 and had left a career as some sort of engineer to be a pilot. Age without experience is not good.
