With respect, I don't think the BEA are particularly bothered one way or another regarding AF's business fortunes - their remit is to investigate accidents and incidents, usually to French-registered aircraft, and make recommendations to prevent them from happening again. Same with Airbus - they don't want their aircraft to have continuing issues.
All the old "cover-up" rubbish is just that - complete rubbish.
