The guy also took a crack at pilot “training academies”. Its gunna get ugly around here…

I'm curious what the definition of a "pilot training academy" is. Would university programs like ERAU and UND fall into that category?

I'm watching live and so far it has been a video of the accident sequence and presentations on icing.

I read the CVR transcript as well. It is tough to read through the last few seconds there.

It's pretty long and it's the sort of thing that not everyone wants to read. NTSB site is still working for me.
