Direct Law & Unions

Had AF447 dropped directly into Direct, would it have made a difference?
I think on B777s if one of Pitots go loopy, it goes into direct as per the 2005 incident.
Regarding Unions, AF so far are the most vociferous than the rest - ipso facto - because AF is appears to be in a forced marriage with Airbus and that their relationship between flag carrier and home-turf framer got off in such an inauspicious manner that they both still live under Habsheim's shadow.
The relationship between Airbus and AF is like no other.
The endless blame game will never end so the solution is simple:let the Unions decide if they want to be all-Boeing or all-Airbus.
