(57,295 posts)12. They did, gee.
Why did you assume 1)They were arguing 2) They didn't try?
1) One noticed a bad condition and asked the other about it. They received crucial information from the other officer.
2) They restarted one of the two engines. As stated in the article.

A pilot would much more likely say "Why did you shut down?" if speaking to the engines..

1) Technical gremlin not ruled out. 2) Other evidence runs counter to your theory

"Voted most unlikely" by who. There's no issue until there is an issue. Depending on "no issue" is confirmation bias. nt

Cockpit recordings make it clear that it was not intentional. There was no fight and engines were restarted. . . . nt
