I'll have a read through your link when I have a minute. Are you still suspended at P4T?
The suspension was to go until December 10. I haven't checked to see if it's been changed.

ARINC? And can you explain what this raw file thing is? I've heard it before but really don't understand it too well...
ARINC is a company that deals with airplane electronics (avionics).
The "raw" file that you keep reading about is the pure data that is
extracted from the Flight Data Recorder [FDR].
We call it "raw" because once you download this file from the FDR, it
cannot be interpretted without other software and tools.
Ah, I see. Where did you get this raw data file? From an FOIA?

Which is why I think he's a bit too hard on both of you guys. It's easy to make mistakes when you're emotionally involved I think
Fact will always rule over emotion/opinion. The reason I'm so hard on
"Weedwacker" is because he's speaking from emotion and hasn't taken
the time to research.
Hm.

It would be great for him to download the NTSB file so we can step through it.
That does sound like a good idea to me.

Which brings me to another point; I, for one, believe that weedwhacker is indeed a former pilot. Has he made any mistakes in what he's said?
With respect to the NTSB data yes.
From the aviation terms he's put forward no; but he's not applying them
in the context that I'd like him to observe (IE: the mach, EAS, dynamic pressure).
Ok....

Initially, they did help with questions, but then Balsamo decided I had to read some rather ponderous and hard to understand threads. I finally started a few, but I couldn't even understand the -beginning- of the threads.
Send me a U2U and I'll try to explain in detail. If I can't answer, I'll refer you to another source.
It's alright. I think I'd rather not go over those times right now.
