I could answer that question honestly, but the admins would surely delete my comment!!

why does the tribune need anyone to tell them this? From the moment the Contractor gave the name of his insurance company I laughed and wondered whether a single journalist was going to bother looking into the company he claimed granted him his C.A.R insurance. Not once does the Tribune say it attempted to check the Contractor's claim - not once.

While we don't yet have the CVR transcripts, we can reasonably assume from the NTSB's findings about cockpit management on this flight that the pilot and co-pilot were at odds and/or not working together as they ought in the cockpit. With the pilot "going passive" and the first officer doing everything, it may have been that the pilot knew that what was being done was not right or safe, but was afraid or unwilling to challenge his pastor, and therefore instead of doing what was necessary as the Captain he backed down and allowed the cowboy first officer to take all of them to what ended up being their regrettable deaths. Think about it. The NTSB does not know the pilots and passengers personally and there were no survivors to interview. For them to make the statement they did about the need for the VIPs to land in Freeport that evening, something had to have been said in that cockpit by either Munroe or the pilots to cause them to come to such a conclusion. How else could they possibly know whether the VIPs on board were actually fine with returning to Nassau or landing elsewhere since it may have been safer to do so? No investigator would be able to magically know what the VIP wanted and preferred from what he did not. Their conclusion suggests that Munroe insisted at some stage that they attempt to land instead of perhaps returning to Nassau or landing somewhere else, or that he made clear his desire prior to the start of the flight, which the pilots echoed during flight. Of course it is still the pilots' responsibility to do what is right and necessary no matter what a passenger says or wants, but based on what the NTSB said, I'm willing to bet the CVR transcripts show the "don't challenge the man of God" syndrome happening with this entire flight.

Forgot to say they should get the FDR information as well. But since I don't expect our media to do any of this, nor do I expect them to publish information they may have or could obtain that might paint Mr. Munroe in a negative light, I imagine the public will have to await the CVR and FDR records as part of court proceedings for the DeSantiago family lawsuit.

Now just get the CVR transcripts for the record. This information still should be obtained by the media. The NTSB has already essentially told us what happened in the cockpit on this ill-fated flight.

Woa

HELL NO

Lawsuits are of course expected in aviation accidents and in many cases are warranted. Let's wait to see the fools who will try to claim that suing Diplomat Aviation is the equivalent of suing God...

Okay; that is still just an opinion though. None of us know that to be fact or not, no matter how strongly plausible we believe it to be.

Damn shame
