    Wow those are some wild assumptions.

    FAA issued Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) No. NM-18-33 on December 17, 2018, regarding the potential disengagement of the fuel control switch locking feature

    The report directly calls this out and says that it could be a contributing factor.

    Okay so fatigue may not be an issue but you have no clue if there are other issues at play here.

    The report mentions no indication of pilot suicide. There is no evidence or reporting or comments from anywhere indicating that these Pilots had issues.

    There is some evidence that Captain may have had a legitimate medical issue during takeoff which could have resulted in this crash however that is not the same as intentionally making mistake or attempting suicide.

    If these were American Pilots you would not be so insistent on this being suicide.

      See, there you go again. Don’t assume how I would judge American pilots either, I have no dog in this fight, and if an American pilot made a grave mistake or committed suicide that’s just as bad. The issue I see clouding your vision, as well as many other Indians, is nationalism. You need to let go of your national pride and take an objective look at this, I would say the exact same thing if it was a pilot from the United States. I don’t care what their motives are or how it reflects on a certain carrier from any country, it’s just what seems most plausible given all available evidence.

      You’re the only one bringing race and nationality into this conversation.

        I’m American dipshit.

        I just find your characterization of these Pilots super disrespectful Which is my primary reason for objecting.

        There’s a million other explanations other than suicide.

        Maybe you should read something other than all Rags whipping everybody up and thinking it’s a pilot suicide and wait and see to what the NTSB actually has to say about this crash since this was a mandated report by ICAO.

        Many people thought Air France flight 447 was caused my pilot suicide but it turned out to be caused by a massive amount of confusion through Frozen pito tubes.

        It’s entirely too early to be this speculative.

          There’s more evidence indicating it was a deliberate or accidental action by one of the pilots than evidence pointing to a mechanical issue, and that’s what I’m going with. There’s not “a million other explanations”. You seem emotionally invested in the outcome, calling various real life pilots making videos “rags”, calling me racist when I made absolutely no claims of the sort, claiming I’d feel different about various nations…

          Guess we’ll see in that final report. I know what I’d be putting my money on, if I gambled. The preponderance of evidence at this point suggest an accidental or deliberate manipulation of the switches by one of the pilots.
