Are any companies leaving one Thales probe on or are they replacing all three? Leaving one might allow useful data to be collected?

EASA stopped short of banning the Thales probes outright, allowing operators to continue to use the so-called -BA standard as a third sensor on Airbus widebodies. A regulatory official says continued use of one Thales -BA probe is "probably acceptable."
EASA Airworthiness Directives Publishing Tool issued today and effective 07 September for compliance within four months. Most airlines already did this after we saw the contents of that ACARS report. Notice that EASA consider this to be an interim measure and further AD action cannot be excluded.
It is important to act on known problems even though the full story may not be available.
