Ah well, it's only taxpayers money. The GS/GR farce has already cost Scottish taxpayers £750mn or so once maintenance costs for elderly vessels that should have been retired are taken into account, what's a few million more...?
It can, as has been previously explained. The takeoff processes are laid down and it'll be apparent from other inputs who's hands were where at any given time.
The news just gets worse…

Again, you're misunderstanding this. There is NO statement that even remotely implies that she hasn't had the access to the CVR, quite the opposite...
The chair of the NTSB won't be listening to the CVR for every investigation, the WSJ article is stating that she wanted to listen to it in this...
They can't turn themselves off, it's not physcially possible... If they transition to off then someone moved them. This is why no-one, including Air India, has grounded any airframes or issued any form of maintenance advisory. It's well understood that someone moved them.What isn't known is who...
Because it's an interim report. They never contain all the detail. They give a brief summary factually of what has happened and avoid all speculation. In this instance its that someone turned off the fuel cutoff switches, which is clearly stated in the report. That's factually undeniable and so...
To repeat, it's a JOINT investigation by both the British and Indian AAIBs, plus the NTSB and Boeing.

As above, all the investigating bodies have access to all the data... the interim report is a JOINT production from a JOINT investigation. Everything in that report has been released...
That will be identified specifically in the final report. It won't be at this point for the reasons expained above. It'll be objectively explained what happened and who did what, that's not blaming someone, it's explaining what happened in factual terms. If there's an understanding of why...
Most investigations have interim reports released that will detail an obvious cause for a crash if there is done, in this case the loss of power caused by the activation of the switches. The report is wholly objective and avoids any speculation as to why that happened as that requires a whole...
The Telegraph is now reporting this as well.
I don't agree with your analysis of the rest. The interim report is exactly that, interim and is a joint production from all investigation parties. There are at least four organsiations involved in this, AAIBx2 (UK plus India), NTSB and Boeing. It...
Asquith has form for very sunny press releases like this that don't match the reality so we'll see. it seems slightly strange (but there again, everything about this launch is strange) that they've paused maintenance to just let it sit costing money waiting for the next stage instead of getting...
Various reliable sources in the reputable aviation press (Aviation Week for one, they even named the Saudi company involved) that caused Asquith to come out with what on the face of it looks like a press release denying that but in fact does no such thing when you look at what he actually said.
They're in the process of negotiating a large cash injection and shareholding with an ME company and refurbing the airframe with that money from what's been announced previously. As above, their future (if any) lies in ACMI work, probably Hajj charters from what has been reported..
Notably...
To be clear all Ryanair have agreed to is to say hello to the operating company and talk to them. O’Leary has been clear as to his thoughts about an airport where the made losses last time round.
