I recall that the F/O had more experience flying the A330 and more rotations on the South American sector than the captain, although the captain had more flying hours overall. So I just wonder if the captain's presence, if it was missing, on the FD would have made a difference. Unless the CVR is recovered, we can only guess what transpired after TO up to the end. My humble opinion is that in the case of F-GZCP, what could go wrong, did go wrong.....throughout the short flight. The finger of blame points in many directions.
