I agree. A lot doesn't add up. Short flight yet potty break at top of climb? Then zero communication? Very bizarre.

Man... there is sooooo much SSI being thrown around on airliners.net (particularly in regard to cockpit entry and exit) due to this crash. There are going to be some unhappy security people...

I am an airline pilot. I refuse to pay to join a website because I'm cheap. Airliners.net requires money so I don't join. I just look for one particular FSU poster.

But that said this is why I find airliners.net intriguing place on all sorts of things. The quality of their posters is like this:

Stupid guy
Stupid guy
Really stupid guy
Ignorant guy
Idiot guy
New guy
Insider spilling too much stuff guy
Idiot guy
Idiot guy
Boeing guy
Stupid guy
Ignorant guy
Insider information spilling guy
Stupid guy
I actually took a picture of it happening guy
Airbus guy
Ignorant guy
Actual first hand knowledge who could get fired for what he just said guy
Stupid guy
Dumb guy
Student pilot all knowing guy
Stupid guy

And so on. You can learn a lot there. Sometimes every 3rd or 4th post and sometimes every 100th post. But there is definitely some interesting stuff at times there. We learned in indoc that they had a guy from network posting insider network stuff there and that went all the way to RA. It was a big deal. That told me right there I need to visit that site more.

But with a crash. I don't visit that site. Just too many people posting.
