The cockpit voice recorder tells all and would have been pulled immediately so I’m giving this story credibility. NW pilots are some of the most militant in the industry and with Delta running the show now I’m sure there’s lots to “discuss” in the cockpit. Flying the plane? Nah, not so much of a priority.

You might be on something. Are u in MBS?

Been there, watched this! Yes, in the old days of three man cockpits . . . every once in a while the ones in the front seats would have a disagreement. Meanwhile the panel puppy watched and listened.

It is amazing to watch the littlest thing totally, I mean totally, become the center of focus to the exclusion of everything else.

Meanwhile, there you are sailing along at Flight O-My-God at the speed-of-heat wondering when the argument will stop!

Well, enter reality.
The last report I heard stated that the "state of the art" Air Bus did not have the "modern" two-hour CVR (cockpit voice recorder) but the 60s "tape" type on a 30-minute loop, so useful audio is not availabe to contradict the losers in the cockpit.

Apparently the cockpit recorder will NOT tell us what happened. This was an older version that only recorded the last 30 minutes, and the pilots had finally been "reached" 45 minutes before the landing.

The recorder on those aircraft only record the last 30 minutes. they had plenty of time to cover up.
