Transcript indicates cockpit decision may have doomed FlyDubai jet that crashed in Russia | The Seattle Times

MOSCOW — An error by a crew member committed during adverse weather may have been responsible for the crash of a passenger jet last week in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don that killed 62 people, a report broadcast by Russian state television said.
The Rossiya-1 television channel said it had obtained a transcript of the pilot interactions a minute before the FlyDubai Boeing 737-800 passenger jet nose-dived to the ground, killing all the passengers and crew members. A source in the investigative commission with access to flight recorders provided the TV channel with the transcript.
Goes on to claim wrong button was pushed re trim of HS or some such- eg pilot error..
