Representatives of the victims' families have also rejected pilot error as the primary cause, suggesting the economic issues at stake may mean a playing down of mechanical failures.

I assume this translates as meaning "We're less likely to get a big payout if pilot error is to blame, therefore we refuse to believe it"?
