You guys who drive are missing the point that only you can clarify - as OldLurker pointed out, these guys were fixated on an unreal situation and it has happened before. It most likely has to do with fatigue or just being up at the wrong bio-cycle. How is it possible to fixate on a situation and not take in the evidence? How did Comair Lexington happen? How did Air France remained stalled for 38,000 feet? I can't believe that among 3 experienced pilots, no one understood how to recover from a stall. Has anything similar ever happened to one of you?
