[That is in a state where 1 in 7 have a DUI, put that in perspective we have 1 pilot in 800,000, and in the state they would have around 115,000 out of 800,000 drivers drivers with a DUI.

Were the switches flipped off or were they on?
Is flipping the switch back on part of the procedure?
We have a long ways to go before I'm making any judgements, but my initial view of the report is that there seems to be crucial information missing, in particular the events after they first used the cut-off switches. A plane doesn't just trim down on its own without a cause. The FDR data is clear ...
