Congrats on helping airbus prove the one truth of aviation which is that dead pilots have bad lawyers and get hung out to dry, while the people that killed them sit at their nice safe warm desks.
I too have questions about the efficacy of the management of Airbus. I made known to the FAA and other certification authorities two known design defects on the A-310. Several major suppliers in order to save money kept these design defects from Airbus. The contract required notification to Airbus of any design defect that would effect reliability, safety, and maintainability. Once the FAA made these defects known to Airbus management they did nothing to correct the design or chastise the subcontractors.
