OK

I feel like a total piece of ****** now.... What can I say I read the transcript and I was shocked at the cavalier attitude in the cockpit and this really upset me. I was angry at the co/pilot and I guess I shouldn't have been because it's so tragic and they did pay the ultimate price. Humans make many mistakes and they usually originate from their emotions. Reading the transcript just got the best of me and I reacted out of line. My apologies to everyone on that flight for not respecting their memory and also to anyone here on this forum I upset. I also didn't realize it was a constant speed prop so those arguments I made are simply ill informed. I guess it all came down, as these horrible tragedies do, to a series of unavoidable events. The gear, ice on the leading edges and lack of monitoring airspeed led to the stall and in turn the tragic crash. My heart goes out to everyone directly and indirectly affected by this disastrous outcome. I hope this very heart felt post reflects my true nature and that others on this forum understand that I'm not a a**hole and I'm not sexist either.

PS I do wonder though after the massive throttle up heard on the flight recorder why the aircraft didn't increase speed and avoid the stall. Could the pilot have been yanking back on the yoke the whole time? and if so [what] happed to his training to push forward on the yoke during an event such as this?
