From these valuable contributions by 777 pilots you get the sense we are getting close to the explanation for this crash. There were similar discussions around the Rostov accident. ( note, effectively same operator as 521). And there have been others. Presumably the majors, Boeing and Airbus get to read or hear about these discussions in an ad hoc way. Perhaps if a pilots body (IFALPA?) pulled the most relevant ones into a combined document and sent it to them, some weight would be added to the discussions which are presumably going on in the marbled halls. Meanwhile although the explanation must already be known by some in the know, we have to be patient. The clock is ticking to 3rd September when UAE GCAA are required to issue first report.
