There is a pattern to AF and ABI press releases (warnings). Without the boxes, they initially (AF) reported the cause as 'Lightning'. Then the PR was 'maintain airspeed', (this interesting because the implication is the pilots were 'behind'). Now the investigators are reporting 'no 447 debris', just other 'junk'.

It doesn't take a genius to conclude that the line is not only hoping for, but trying to lay the foundation for, pilot error.

How convenient, predictable, and deceitful.

For an aircraft that makes much of its automation, to the exclusion of the necessity for brilliant airmanship, only to see such aircraft dump the flight on the humans when it can't keep up seems, what, ironic??
