FWIW, I've heard at least one report that said the fighter jet pilots saw the co-pilot at the controls and no sign of the captain in the cockpit. Now, I don't now how they'd know one guy from another, but I'm guessing they can count and saw at least one crew member missing. Anyone else hear the report about the captain not being in the cockpit?

FNC reported that. The copilot was slumped over the controls and no sign of the pilot. Possibly the seating arrangement led to that conclusion. And didn't the passenger text that the pilot was blue?

Well they may have seen someone flying the plane.... (no way to read his ID badge) he just happened to fly it into a mountain.

If the captain was out of the cockpit, and back in the passenger compartment, that would explain how a passenger could know that he was unconscious. See post #44.
