Despite the verdict I'm not sure AT will be sleeping much better than he was. Will he really want to get himself back into any seat of a modern fbw cockpit?
As previously stated, there was clearly a strong vibe to some personnel within the SI that he was not being truthful. However, cover up or not, it is perhaps a sign of the times that this aircraft captain lacked the knowledge to even partly understand why his aircraft was doing as commanded and so make a much better job or recovering it to S&L flight. I can just about understand the gotcha of the camera, but I just can't comprehend how he didn't immediately use his side-stick to attempt to counter the initial pitch-down and hence discover his camera/seat had wedged it forwards.
