Turns out Captain Steeve, besides being a former Navy flight instructor, is a doctorate level counselor. He explains the procedures for cutting off fuel and how the operation of the switches make it impossible for one of them - let alone both - to be inadvertantly or mistakenly moved to the cutoff position.

I wonder what the background of the pilot and co pilot would reveal.

The fuel was was deliberately shut off. Where are these switches located? Which side - left or right? Anyone know?

Does one need to operate those switches as part of an engine restart procedure?

Maybe there was a shift change during maintenance and nobody mentioned the switches to the maintenance crew coming on shift?

Depriving the airplane of fuel was just part of the leftists’ program to stop using fossil fuels

a good thing they tell us

so... why all the fuss?

Captain Steeve has never mentioned the possibility of pilot suicide. Why? It has certainly happened before.

Was someone in the cockpit on antidepressants? That German co-pilot who purposefully rammed that airliner into a mountainside was on SSRIs.

Working in air travel at any level should be as difficult to get clearance for as a job in National Security. No DEI, only hire those who are the absolute best qualified to do the job being hired for. They should have to undergo constant psych evaluation. Any fluctuation or the slightest doubt and they are removed from service. No exceptions. Going through tough personal or financial times? Grounded. On some sort of psych drug? grounded. Drugs and alcohol of ANY kind or ANY amount...grounded.

Do not hire people who are followers of a cult which demands death to those who believe differently from themselves.

Do not be afraid to profile/stop/search/detain passengers or potential employees based on the past experiences with people from certain groups. This is about safety and security for those traveling. Basing decisions on 'feelings', 'compassion', and virtue signaling gets people killed.

Ammend the list as you see fit...

the engines were intentionally shut down.

Anyone yell "Allahu Akbar" into their headset?

Not sure if Captain Steeeve saw this...

https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/aaib-releases-preliminary-report-on-air-india-plane-crash-in-ahmedabad-report-101752263646478.html

See paragraphs 4 through 7.

Note to Captain Steeeve: Love your channel, Captain. But, FWIW, I wouldn’t rely on the WSJ’s reportage for jack spit.

I’ve seen now 4 different YT videos, all fake. I’m holding out for an official FAA/Boeing/AIN announcement.

If the plane was about to crash, the fuel switches might have been cut off to not feed a likely post-crash fire.
