I do believe that the no good for business argument might be the most important one
Does Pprune know about the Habsheim crash ?
A 320 pilot, we're told, crashed his aircraft in the forest at the end of a short runway where he was making a low pass, with the utmost incompetence.
In practice, we can clearly see different markings on the DFDR photographed just after the crash, and the DFDR presented to the press when the judges seized it ten days later.
There are also gross unconsistencies in the BEA report including the DFDR data.
So in my humble opinion of 20-year late observer, there is at least something wierd with this case. If any one would like to discuss it further we could find a place to do it.
Back to AF447, there was an article in vanity fair which "revealed" supposedly secret conversations.
We learnt tremendously interesting details, like that a flight attendant was allegedly carrying brasilian meat in her hold luggage !
What does the D stand for in DCVR ? Digital like in DFDR ?
According to a French commentator, Dubois was standing because he did not have the **** "to grab one of his subordinates by the collar and throw him away from the controls". One will or will not subscribe to this analysis.
Why would you think that the copilots were not strapped properly ?
Regarding the "are you full ATPL" question, there are (...) just after it in the CVR transcript so that might be the following discussion about it.
Or, the discussion could have taken place in the full two minutes before the "yeah" and the next line transcripted.
