Isn't it totally against SOP to publish partial data so early in the investigation?
Has anyone a good explanation?
Er, it was a leak, not "published"?
AFAIK the only
official word on ACARS was that BEA (or AF?) announced that there had been 24 messages, and the overall start and end time. The detailed content is not official, however reliable we might think it is.
Edit to say that the "er" is because I'm ASSUMING that to be the answer, not to disparage the question - as it might have appeared on re-reading
