It seems unlikely that they are not both in there but I keep hoping against hope - even irrationally that maybe one survived somehow and is somewhere else .... Its crazy and I know its not rational but the human mind and heart needs proof - I can spin you a tale about theories and possible scenarios until its proven to me there are 2 men on board.
My thoughts are that since they seem to only be talking about the picture of the left plane fuselage area ... Does that mean its their only visual and they saw a body inside that area? Because it seems the Pilot would still be at the area of the controls? Unless he survived and got up and ended up in the left rear area???
Could anyone of survived that impact since the plane did not break up and how come it did not break up???? And how come seat cushions managed to be found and nothing else ? Can ones mind play tricks that one of the men escaped to the surface and used a cushion to float??? The plane hit the water in one piece ...how long before it sank? Or did it fly straight down to the bottom of the channel with so much force it broke water and like a speeding bullet kept going till it landed on the floor bed ... Or is that ridiculous? Clearly if it hit the water and remained intact then it must of sat upright for some time before it sank??? And someone could of gotten out???
I recommend having a look at the discussion on PPRuNe from pilots, as they cover these points pretty extensively. Here's the thread if you're interested: Cardiff City Footballer Feared Missing after aircraft disappeared near Channel Island - PPRuNe Forums
The short of it is that survival was pretty much impossible under the conditions due to the force of the impact and awful weather conditions. The door has been blown open so it seems unlikely it was ditched and then floated for a bit. Posters estimated that in a successful ditching, the plane would only float for 10-15 minutes anyway. Definitely not long enough to survive the sea before rescuers arrived on the scene. That part has a lot of high, rocky edges on the bits of land. So even if a raft situation had happened by some miracle, there's little chance they would have made it ashore.
