<h1>Pilots denied representative on crash probe team; bureau promises meetings amid concerns over selective report release and fairness</h1> An aviation accident investigation bureau refused a pilots' association request to include a representative as a subject-matter expert on the team probing a fatal airline crash, citing government norms; the association met with the bureau, received assurances of invitations to future quarterly meetings, and continues to press for participation to ensure pilot perspectives inform investigations. The bureau's preliminary report found near-simultaneous fuel supply loss and cockpit confusion. The nation's apex court criticized selective publication of that preliminary report for fostering a prejudicial media narrative, raising transparency and procedural fairness concerns.
