The report's quite long, so I'll have to read it over and over to get the jargon. Thnx anyway.
MS's decision to deny the findings of the NTSB report (i.e., that there was nothing wrong with the plane and that the relief first office crashed the plane deliberately) was not a business decision. MS is Egypt's flag carrier and wholly owned by the Egyptian government...it was a government decision. To the extent the Egyptian government has never admitted what happened, they haven't done anything so far as I can tell to make sure what happened will not be repeated.
About the report, go all the way to the bottom then scroll up until you hit the "Summary" -- it's all basically there.
