Not the best choice IMHO, but...
Has anyone criticized the work that was done by French BEA re. the analysis of data from AF447 involving both the French national carrier and an aircraft manufactured by European Airbus whose ties with France are well known to all? From a pure France's perspective AF447 was presumably much more critical to France than ET302 may ever be. And I doubt that anyone (sensible) in France feels happy that this is happening to Boeing today....
