This is purely a guess on my part, but I feel like the crew of the Oct 28 flight (the Lion Air crash happened the next day with the same aircraft) didn't want to admit they were in a situation they almost didn't get out of?
I feel like it was uncovered while they checked the CVR after the first crash, whereas the CVR is almost never pulled after a successful flight. (Edit: I should add, I don't know what the data retention is on CVR's these days, but I thought I remember reading its only 30 minutes, so the previous pilots could also have finally brought it up while being interviewed, since they were the last ones to successfully fly the aircraft that crashed)
