I side with ALPA (and believe me that pains me), but I give them a thumbs up. Releasing this much info this soon, without any other information is offering an incomplete picture. It's the NTSB, let them take their time. Why release little small facts out of context from the rest of the contributing factors of the accident? This hasn't happened before to the degree of how much they released information. This was a lot. All it does is cause the media to speculate even more and paint the pilots like dirt. The truth should come out in whole, not incomplete bits of pieces. What was their previous 72 hr lookback? Did they sleep onboard during their rest period? Were they fatigued? Those answers they can't give us yet because that is human performance and that takes time. By doing this, people will judge and screw the pilots before the final probable cause even comes out.


Back on subject, DALPA is running again? I hear they have close to 5500 signatures. You guys doing a vote?
