<h1>Pilots association threatens legal action over alleged bias in deadly aircraft accident investigation</h1> A pilots' association representing over 800 aviation professionals is considering legal action to secure representation in an aircraft accident investigation. The group alleges bias toward pilot error in preliminary findings from a crash that killed 260 people, where fuel switches were reportedly cut off seconds after takeoff. The association's president criticized the investigation's lack of transparency and absence of pilot expertise on the investigation panel. Representatives plan to meet with civil aviation officials to discuss concerns about the probe's direction and methodology. The group strongly objects to assumptions of pilot guilt and seeks meaningful participation in the investigation process.
