Photo / Tatan Syuflana, APIndonesian navy divers have recovered the cockpit voice recorder of a Sriwijaya Air jet that crashed into the Java Sea in January, killing all 62 people on board, officials said Wednesday. That report provided new details on persistent problems with an autothrottle on the 737-500 Sriwijaya Air jet and the airline's efforts to fix them. An automated flight-control system played a role in that crash, but the Sriwijaya Air jet did not have that system.
