Surprised not one person has mentioned the possibility that there could have been a bomb on board.

A passenger disturbance in the back could have been the reason they leveled off and requested a turn back to the airport. Then sets off a bomb.

Definitely not out of the realm of possibility. However a lot of times terror incidents like that end up being claimed by whatever group or individuals were responsible.

Losing one or both pitot static systems in night or IMC, however, can be momentarily very disorienting. Depending on the level of automation and how dependent the pilots are on that automation, it can easily be deadly even in day VMC.
Wait... what? Isn't the feel is run off the hydraulic system as part of the flight controls? I know it would take input from the pitot static as part of its operation, but in general the DISAGREE is referring to hydraulic pressure, is it not?

On some of the older jets you could make a very subtle input in the cockpit and have it translated into a significantly larger movement of the elevator.

Applying Occam's Razor, that's not very likely though.

Reading now about the violent deviations on the previous flight due to what the crew described as a “flight control malfunction”. The crew elected to continue to destination after it rectified itself.

You’ve GOT to be kidding me....

FDR shows airspeed indication problem.

I would not be surprised if it is water in the lines (from tropical squalls while parked), a kink, a bad drain, or manufacturing debris in the lines (previously undiscovered because it was new), or a bad Air Data sensor.

Sadly, there are several examples in accident history of differing indications between Capt and FO...and the crew usually made the wrong determination.

Indeed, Birgenair 301 comes to mind. All he FO had to do was trust his cluster and push the nose down. Unfortunately CRM was not at an acceptable level and 189 people are no longer with us as a result.

Except for all the times when it happened and they made the right decision that we never heard about.

It should NEVER happen. Period. If you haven’t looked at Berginair 301 you should, the CA had a bad airspeed that disagreed on t/o roll and elected to continue. At altitude they got slow but the CA airspeed said they were fast, he continued to pull back based on a bad airspeed even through the shaker and the FO saying I think we’re too slow. All that FO needed to do was push the nose down and 189 people would still be here. It is beyond unacceptable for a person to die because of poor CRM.

Accidents will happen, despite our amazing safety record recently aviation will always involve risk. But there is no excuse for CRM causing injury or death, it is entirely within our control.
