Isn’t the information that the co-pilot unlocked the wings early and that they were deployed early , new ?

It would seem that deploying (feathering) the ‘wings’ while at 110% of thrust capacity isn’t a good idea. whoda thunk ?

I thought that was suspected a few days ago. I guess the real mystery is why did they deploy if they were only set to unlock. Isn't the whole part of the purpose of having a two step process so that you don't have this happen if you hit the wrong switch.
