MS804 follow up: request for a bit more patience
I'm happy that the original thread is closed again and the relevant news has been moved and incorporated.
Quite like the latest information bulletin of the Egyptian Civil Aviation authority (5 July, see quote underneath), actually is asking for a bit more patience and for less speculation.
Of course, there is a fine balance between on the one hand the speed of information, given the seriousness of events in the first place for those directly involved and possibly also for the safety of operations of the type in general, and on the other hand the thoroughness of investigation processes, to reach valid and meaningful conclusions.
The Egyptians are obviously ticking as they are in their own way, so, apart from not having explicitly abided by the ICAO rules to have a first interim report after 1 month, they are at least pretty forthcoming on a regular basis when confirmed news can be released. Let's hope it will continue this way.
