If you fell off your roof and had two options.
1: slow the speed that you meet terra firma
2: or avoid hitting terra firma
Which would you choose

What I wouldn’t choose is to light a rocket and point myself towards the ground.

The NTSB isn’t leaking anything to the press. They are releasing a press release containing preliminary factual information of what they know at that point in time. They always do this with every accident the ever investigate. Shortly they will release an official preliminary report. They do this becuse they are and want to be seen as a transparent agency. They also enjoy press coverage of the good work they do becuse just maybe congress will notice when budget time comes around. Perhaps they used some poor wording that made some people read to much into it and come to the conclusion it was a suicide. Personally I thought the press release was fairly ambiguous

Hi F4E Mx!

Nice alter ego account. I would gladly call you out as a pretender to your face. You are either lying about your experience, or you are woefully ignorant for supposedly being a commercial pilot with a couple thousand hours. From your posts, you sound like a wannabe Microsoft flight sim pilot. I think I’ll just call you Captain Dudley from here on out.

Dude, get over yourself and the flight sim issue. I am the one that brought the sim up because I used it as a means to see if a scenario could play out or if certain MCP inputs could be made that resulted in trim runaways, hard overs, task sat, etc.

Do you disagree?
I think it was more about the perception being created. They wanted to make it ambiguous until they had more info.

Dragging a PC flight sim into this discussion was bad judgement.

There is an Atlas 767 sim instructor on another site who set up the parameters and was not able to recover when it was done as the NTSB indicated.

That's better than a PC but even level D sims are not always perfect models, especially out of "normal" attitudes and flight parameters. The recently required enhancements I think only applied to stall regime not all attitudes.
