All of the above hogwash aside, how about the biggest issue here: the release of the CVR tapes, and the broadcast of them to the nation tonight on ABC.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but CVRs were installed on airplanes to aid the INVESTIGATION. This was a collective agreement by airline pilots to solely aid in the investigation of aircraft accidents. I wasn't aware they would be used to drag dead pilots through the streets after a crash/incident.
We don't have these things(CVRs) in cars, trains, buses or boats. If this is how these tapes are going to be used, then CVRs need to be ripped out of every airplane. Under no circumstances should the last words of any person or pilot be heralded to the nation, and then stomped on by John Nance.
Side note: John Nance is a worthless piece of garbage.
We're the pilots at fault? Sounds like it, unfortunately.
Do they, or their families deserve for their last words to be plastered across the front page for the world to see? Hell no.
This is unacceptable and deplorable.

Reason: Spelling.
