Stand corrected. On shep day before yesterday it was repeated twice that the co pilot had less than ten hours and had just been trained. Since they’ve heard his voice and not the pilot I’m staying that the co pilot was behind it.
Only thing that would change my mind is to find out the pilot was on the crew who set some kind of world record flying from there to Seattle or other way
Then I’d say he and the general were/are both doing work for See eye ehyuh
And something threatening to the USA was in he hold
That’s my opinion ( for he next two minutes) which varies with each new discovery.
Think of all the movies this mystery could stimulate!
The conspiracists right here on FR could write three dozen scripts, for sure! Too many read way too many Clancy-mix/with-Stephen King books....
Gotta admit, these threads are fun to see the goo that starts running through the brains around here.
Be careful about making assumptions off that transcript.
I am seeing pilots claim that it may be bogus and seeing claims it could have been washed several times...especially through the hands of the Chinese. Chinese get it..translate..edit etc..and then it comes from there to the newspaper who posted it in English.
It’s missing certain things that should be there.
As for only one person speaking..apparently it is not unusual for the one not flying to be the one speaking. However, it has not been confirmed who was speaking..just a reporter making a claim.
That is not to say you aren’t right.
You could be.
It’s even possible the one doing the speaking was neither pilot and was the Hijacker since a lot of the transcript does not conform to actually ATC standards.
PS — I just recalled those reports of said young co-pilot having those “hot white wimmins” visit the cockpit two or three years ago to share a Marlboro (or whatever)....which should negate the speculation that he’s fresh outta flight skoo; he’s been flying for awhile, it would appear.
“Since they’ve heard his voice and not the pilot I’m staying that the co pilot was behind it.”
Probably SOP to make the n00b do everything so he can be observed and evaluated.
