I suggest the reason we have the thinking of the VA crew is because the CVR was available. The fact that the QF crew refueled and continued meant that most or all of that portion of the recording...

Steve, I just know I shouldn't do this, but you don't actually believe that **** do you? If you must know, VA diverted first. So there goes your theory right there. I won't go into why they landed...
