I would tell you that it wouldn't matter to me, both authorities have divergent missions from what is 'expected' by the public. Besides, it doesn't matter what I think, what do you think of it? My source as a non French speaking person is a phD in French linguistics, whom I trust completely. Steamchicken, if you read my quote (above) for comprehension, you will note that I have softened my initial reaction, and am giving BEA some room here, and for the reasons you state. But it isn't only en ligne de vol that is concerning. There is not a chauvinistic bone in my airframe, all are vulnerable to a healthy scepticism. Do you doubt there is an element of 'circling the wagons' here? I see it, for one.
