How did they explain changing their story from "we were arguing so we didn't notice" to basically "We were just working at our jobs too dang hard to notice"?

Well the initial story was that they were arguing about scheduling, right? Now the story is that they were doing scheduling, and perhaps arguing about it, on their laptops. And honestly we don't know what they initially told their bosses or the FAA anyway.

Stories are close enough for it not to be a major change. Not like it went from "fell asleep" to "actually having marathon orgy with the crew."

Clever, Ally, but the Northwest aircraft are typically Boeing. This cockpit looks like it's right out of the Airbus world... The joysticks are a dead-giveaway.

Actually Northwest have quite a lot of Airbuses. This an A380 though, (registration F-WWOW written on gives that away) which they don't have. None of this really matters anyway cos it's just a joke.

I believe the story was that they were checking rotas on their laptops, and that's what caused the "heated discussion".

Most Northwest aircraft are actually Airbus. They have 72 active Airbus aircraft and 49 active Boeing aircraft.

Oh, ok, the news station I was watching when all that first come out said they didn't know what they had been arguing about. That makes sense.

I still think the "marathon orgy with the crew" thing is closer to reality than "working on crew scheduling."

Or maybe they work so hard on crew scheduling to ensure a crew with the right..... abilities and skills.

I refuse to believe no hanky panky ever goes on in there

The FAA revoked both of their licenses for life.
***********************************************************

When they first put cameras in the cockpit, a pilot had a stewardess sitting on his lap.
He was letting her fly the plane.
When they looked at the footage, the pilot is only allowed to fly cargo planes now.
