Well, Captain Cronkhite, you sure have "qualified" yourself as, well, an observer.......It seems to me that your exposure to the NTSB as a liaison or whatever you were, should have clued you into the first rule about accidents. Specifically, NEVER JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS. We...that is, none of us have any idea what happened...so just blame the pilot...Tell me doug were you with L.A. Center before or after the strike?

Pete, you are right on with yor thoughts........

Really irritated,


John
