Ahem...

From his site:

Dan Gryder - you either like his point of view or don't. He lost his job over this incident:

https://www.avweb.com/news/pilot-arrest ... -incident/

http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=m ... 8dc055ec22

His MO seems to be to question a lot of NTSB probable causes.

Some people like that and some don't.

Google Dan Gryder. There is a lot more than “credentials” to his name. Arrests, suspensions, crashes, questionable journalism, etc come to mind. If you can’t even be bothered to verify the difference between a Mini-max and a Moni, maybe you shouldn’t be speculating on the cause of a crash as any sort of authority.

Interesting. I guess my hunch was right. I had done a "don't recommend channel" after watching the YT video and I think that was the right move! So I guess I don't like his POV.

My point was simply that he was more than just a Youtuber. I honestly haven't followed his channel directly, but am aware of him from his appearances on other channels, including people I know outside of YT. Thanks Graeme and others who posted additional info.

On top of that, I hadn't watched his full video yet, it was in my "Watch Later" as I was working on another Sonex interview segment. Yup, should probably do a bit more research before hitting that REC button... (or "Post Reply" button lol)

I'm a small 'Tuber and yet have been asked on occasion to share my thoughts regarding certain aviation incidents. All of which I have flat out said NO to. In fact, my last response to one was, "I wouldn't touch it with a 20' pole." I don't believe I'm qualified to weigh in on a tragic event like this. And that's the worst part of it, the grieving of whoever is left behind.

But you are a pilot - so ALL non-pilots want to know EXACTLY what YOU think happened. Because you WILL know.
Believe me - when MH370 disappeared - I can't tell you the number of folks who were SURE I would know where it was.

So this Dan Gryder failed in too many details, the pilot’s name and age, the airplane type and model and so on.
How can he dare to indicate “probable causes” if he doesn’t know how to deal with simple information?…
I knew it since I view the video for the first video.

Well, the only thing to say, in this case, is indeed
