It was already proposed and the pilot unions were against it citing privacy concerns and possible use in disciplinary actions.

That is why it should be designed in such a way that it is only accessible for air crash investigations, should probably require authorization from the manufacturer, regulator & the airline to be able to access the contents.

I think he must have done it in a state of absent minded-ness. He cared a lot for his father. He would not have committed suicide.

 

Absent mindedness ? Its not a simple on off switch.

Might be sleeping, drinking or so many other things. It's a long journey where they are confined to a small cockpit. Even train drivers do these things.

It is insane that they are blaming dead pilots.

 

What are TATAs  doing, why are they not defending their employees?

Covering up their fking asses. AIIB report indicating there is issue as of now with plane or engine is damning  How can they give a clean chit? At least say that it will be investigated further. Clueless sepoys still working for white masters

That man is 46. Middle age brings its own version of health issues. If what they say is true, this is a tragic misfortune. I am not buying that it's a suicide.

At work, we had a luncheon and in some small talk, everyone (bloody goras and Chinese) were all sold on the pilot error/suicide and convinced that it is not Boeing’s fault and that pilot had deliberately switched off the fuel. I was seething in anger and trying to say it is not concluded but a preliminary investigation.

 

The way, they leaked the report a. Day earlier to western media and everyone started talking about it makes me suspect everyone was nvolved to pass the buck off to the pilots and wash their hands off.

Accidentally can be ruled out, it can’t be switched off by the cuff. The only two explanations are it was done through sabotage or this pilot action. It is a tough switch to override the lock feature to pull with 3 fingers and I am not convinced that it can be done ✔️ n a second on both switches like boom-boom. It took about 4 secs to turn it back on. But the way investigation lid going, I am afraid the narrative will be set in the latter

Same thing in my case. But I made it a point to get their head sorted.
