Fox news is reporting that the NTSB only has the last 30 minutes of the CVR. Not the two hour like they thought they had.
So normally the CVR records the past 2 hours? You think the crew manipulated the CVR recording time (if it's even possible).?

Simple. Every time I have a CA ask me to ask for one, it is to determine the "factor" we add to Ref speed. Once the Auto-Throttles are off we are required by Boeing to have it.
The "How Long is Final?" question is generally asked by guys in jets that have a hard time getting down. Also 210 KIAS is right above the speed at which we need to dirty up. Ergo, if it is going to be a 20 mile final there is no need to get dirty. We will keep it clean and come down slowly. Anything under seven or eight miles requires most of our jets to dirty up to make the base turn at seven or eight miles and below 4500 feet which is the altitude required by ATL Tracon.
So why not add the factor when you get the ATIS?
Here is a quote from General Lee:
There were many more quotes like this....You get the point...Now that Delta pilots are the one with the black eye, they've gone from offense to defense...The double standard continues with each post they make....
Was listening to npr and a passenger said they saw two officers leave the cockpit with a plastic case. Something you would store a drill in. I wonder what that was?
They might be alive today, but by luck or design??
Just because there HAPPENED to not be anyone taxiing on the taxiway in ATL, and just because the NWA guys HAPPENED to wake up 150 nm east of MSP and not during the spiralling death plunge of a fuel exhausted Airbus somewhere over central Ontario, do you think that excuses their actions? Maybe next time they wouldn't be so lucky, just like the Comair and Colgan crews weren't so lucky.
Incidentally, I don't recall an incorrect runway being used in SDF any time recently... Refresh my memory?
