Take it for what it is, but here is an artical that names both pilots and states that the CVR only got the last 30 minutes.

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....
The identity of the General has been revealed?
Did the NWA guys lack basic airmanship like I said the Colgan pilots did? No, they didn't. Look at the track on Flightaware.com----they never flew it upside down. It was perfect airmanship. As far as what happened over MSP, we don't know. But, we do know they never stalled the plane and put it into a tight spiral. BTW, their answer "in a heated discussion over company policies" was a CLASSIC!
Bye Bye--General Lee
Do you really have to ask that? Is ATIS the latest wind?
I typically have it in my mind what it is and listen to tower giving out winds as they clear people to land... its pretty rare for me to actually get a "wind check" unless the winds on the FMC are looking a lot different.
You don't think being asleep qualifies as "lacking basic airmanship"?
I would be very curious as to the situational awareness of everyone else such as the flight attendants. They were going to MSP so at least some of the passengers would have connections. We all know if there is a five minute delay they are already worried about those connections. I would think that even the most clueless of flight attendants would be wondering if they were holding because by now someone has complained they are not going to make that connection.
I will certainly not pass judgment since I was not on the flightdeck, but there are definitely a lot of things to make you go Hmm!
