That's exactly right. From the raw data that's been released thus far, I've learned that even a heavily experienced but fatigued crew is capable of not monitoring airspeed until stick shaker activation. If it could happen to them, it could happen to me. When the raw data of actual engaged modes of the flight guidance system is released, that will tell me more of what I was capable of doing wrong given the right circumstances. How can knowing this now be a bad thing for me and every airline pilot out there? I'd like to know and chew on this now...not 12 months from now. Not out of morbid curiosity, but to improve myself.
