In the original thread, someone said they were on duty since 13:00 or so. Super late leg yes. But apparently not that long of a day. Course, dealing with those insanely long ground sits are a trial in themselves.
NTSB now saying they wondering why the autopilot was flying if they knew they were in a severe icing situation.
Its going to come down to Pilot-Error, due to them flying with the AP on in icing conditions....FOM says No AP in icing conditions.
Factors will include icing conditions and crew experience.
Fatigue will not be a factor.
Where did the 'severe icing' thing come from? Listening to the ATC tapes nobody on there mentions 'severe' icing. The ice-related comments, even when the controller askes about ice seem more consistent with light, maybe moderate icing, but nothing anywhere close to severe.

I agree, however I think the CVR is gonna be the rope to hang this crew. They talked about all the ice on the window and wings.
Hmmm, don't know how the autopilot would have stayed on all the way till impact?
