Eurocockpit, which has the inside track from Air France pilots, has just posted their first reaction to the BEA initial report

For the moment it's only in French. They promise an English version. But their point is that they suspect the BEA and Air France of being economical with the truth.
L'affaire du vol AF447 ne fait que commencer, et nous pouvons dès aujourd'hui annoncer qu'il sera très difficile de cacher la vérité.
Which means.... The case of AF447 has only just begun and we can from today announce that it will be very difficult to hide the truth...
Eurocockpit says that on June 5 -- four days after AF447 -- Air France modified the standing Airbus procedure for handling unreliable airspeed indications. The June 5 note told crews to ignore stall warnings and run the checklist before undertaking corrective action, says Eurocockpit. Perhaps the experts could explain the implications of that.
