You must not have been listening very well. The crew (AC) did run the boldface, the AC called for the 4 Engine Flameout Checklist and as Day Man said he did not run it. The reason the checklist has you turn the fuel shutoff switches "off" is to reset the EECs. Day Man did not do that. The FDR confirmed all 4 EECs were offline. They subsequently relit by magic. P&W cannot explain why, EECs are not supposed to just come back on by themselves. If the checklist had been run, all 4 engines would have restarted. The two that "caught fire" were not on fire, they were is sub idle conditions and overheating. That happens when you have fuel going into and engine with the ignition going and not enough airflow.
As for diverting, I believe someone already said it. That radio call is a lot better than the one saying you flew through a level 5 Thunderstorm and flamed out all 4. Yes, the training in the new WX Radar was not the best, but you still knew that thunder storm was there. The CVR has you calling it out the first time you went by it before you turned away from the field. When you turned back and were headed to the field they said winds were 60kts on the field. You holding fix was over the field. No WX radar is needed to know 60kt winds are most often cause by severe weather.
Aviate Navigate Communicate! Sound familiar? When you read the SIB the crew’s primary concern was communication. Then you guys were worried about which direction they wanted you to turn in holding. Who cares? Aviating is saying, the weather sucks, the coms suck, I am going somewhere else.
I think you guys got screwed. However, the fact remains there were some pretty big screw ups. Not enough for shithead to overturn the FEB recommendation, but they were there none the less.
For the record, I have seen the video, so I know what was going on and what was not going on.
