Contrary to prior reports, the flight recorder did pick up some relevant conversation. It will probably be widely reported soon, but it has been leaked here:

Everyone on the plane could have been killed by the pilots' misconduct and gross breach of their duties. The revocation of their licenses was justified.

Guys, I don't feel any mercy with them, bc I tell you something:
As a pilot you have to be concentrated all the time, what if the ATC(Air traffic Control) sent them informations about other airplanes that crossed their flight route? what about any unforseen event? there is a warning unit in the cockpit that warns you if there are any other airplanes in the near, they could have overhearde it too..who nows..
Happily no one was hurt and everything went fine, but who knows what have could happened if...

Absolutely! I don't like flying... and the main reason I don't like it is because I am not in control! Now I know that these lazy MF's aren't in control either! GTF outta here. FIRED... C-YA... !! No sympathy what so ever!

I agree. And we may never know the full story.
At 450 airspeed that is (give or take) 20 minutes overshoot. However they normally begin their decent 100 (give or take) miles before wheels down.
That means they were ?out of touch? for 33 minutes (give or take) because of (both of them!!) checking flight schedules on their laptops.
Something else was happening.
[Maybe some heavy equipment driver can refine my numbers.]

They need to be like all BMW owners and man up to their mistakes, as we all do. Right?? Right??

Just the same with drunken pilots!
