    Really, there’s evidence that the switch was purposely flipped to commit suicide?

    I didn’t see that in the report.

    Tell you what.

    Why don’t you take this as an opportunity to prove to everyone that you’re not baselessly slandering these pilots.

    Support this opinion with a quote from some sort of evidence.

    Because otherwise you look like a racist dick.

      You’re right, I can’t say the motive. The evidence points to an intentional cutoff by one of the pilots, however. Maybe it’s an accident, maybe it’s deliberate.

      It has nothing to do with their race so fuck off with the racism accusation. I never said a single thing regarding their race or culture, so don’t accuse me of such things.

        This reeks the same way the Ethiopian flight 302 did. A ton of people initially believed that the pilots committed suicide until it was revealed that there was a misbehaving system that wasn’t properly recorded on the black boxes.

        What they have right now is that the data on the black boxes Doesn’t indicate a mechanical failure. That doesn’t mean there isn’t one.

        As you pointed out it could be fatigue. I talked with a pilot that’s the one a 787. He mentioned the detent system in the fuel cutoff valve can weaken over time causing them to be easily tripped.

        We have no idea what the scheduling of these people like it could also be due to fatigue which would mean they are not at fault.

        I called you out on this comment being racist because it feels racist to accuse these Indian Pilots of committing suicide when they have such extensive records, the 787 has already had several whistleblowers come out on it and it’s had to be grounded for other issues, it’s made by Boeing who seems to suck at making planes, There is absolutely no proof a suicidal intention from their personal life or professional life.

        To keep claiming this is a pilot suicide Is extraordinarily disrespectful To the pilots who lost their lives in this crash.

        When these type of crashes happen in the United States we don’t immediately turn around and claim pilot suicide. We wait and see the way we’re supposed to instead of speculating.

        If you don’t want to get called out for racism don’t act racist.
