From the Report:

> The MP initiated a conference call with Lockheed Martin engineers through the on-duty supervisor of flying (SOF). The MA held for approximately 50 minutes while the team developed a plan of action.

"though the SOF" implies a middle-man, but I imagine that's because you don't want literally hook up a conference call directly to the cockpit. That being said, seems like the pilot was effectively on the conference call.

Unless you want to suggest I don't trust the report?

What I said is he was not on the call /directly/.

You can argue over whether he was “effectively” on the call because someone was summarizing it for him per what I quoted.

I just think it’s worth nothing he was not “on” the call the way someone is traditionally on a conference call.
