“The symptoms of hypoxia go away almost immediatley when ox is reintroduced. I’ve been through altitude chambers. Trust me.

If it’s just hypoxia, yes. But, toss in carbon monoxide poisoning, and you still have hypoxia symptoms because the blood can’t absorb oxygen quickly.”

Then why would he leave the scene? Like Ted Kennedy? Why wouldn’t he just stay and provide the truth? Like Obama? Because maybe he was hiding something? Maybe????

Maybe. Witnesses say he was disoriented, so it's not entirely unexpected for him to do unreasonable things. We just don't know why he was disoriented.

My point is that the original poster (and you) are throwing around accusations with no proof. The NTSB wisely did not accuse the pilot of intoxication, and found evidence of alternative explanations for the pilot's disorientation.

You're entitled to your opinion. But, don't cite the NTSB's report as "proof", because it doesn't support it.
