Capt. John Cox
Accident investigator · former US Airways
Investigator
June 2026: preponderance of the evidence is a deliberate act, high likelihood the captain. Reads FIR-boundary timing and the reverse course as too coordinated for a random failure.
Cox is giving an investigator’s likelihood, not a legal finding. The 2018 report shares the “manual inputs” half and refuses the named-actor half. Both belong in the file.
