Btw, have we ever heard from BEA what happened to Air Asia A320?
They were part of the investigation (though not in the lead). But how can it happen that 3 months after that accident we do not know about the cause WITH all recorders orderly retrieved.
What can we expect from BEA this afternoon and in this case?
The further away in time from an event the dynamics change;
the public forgets and isn't as interested or at least the press doesn't think so and for that reason the old incident is not on the front burner with the press.
next there are many interest groups with joint and opposing interests who will lobby government bodies and try to control the narrative and news releases in their favor. These interest groups are company, manufacture, regulators, politicians, employees and employee unions. Probably others also and they all have lawyers.
Now if there is some profound discovery early on in an investigation, a discovery that points to likely further and imminent occurence of similar failures, then you will see regulative action right away. As that has not occurred in the Latest Malaysia case then it would be fair to assume that nothing profound or unusual that has not been dealt with by previous rules and notices has been found. Now is the time for the lawyers and politicians to maneuver and determine whose ox will be gored.
