>Signs are that Airbus is taking every opportunity it can under cover to distance itself from the cause(s)of AA587 by spinning to the media. No,
they are'nt pushing the terrorism theory but that trusty catch-all of pilot error. Sadly, the NTSB aren't helping much either by feeding tit bits to their favourite media so that they can add up two and two to make anything they damn well like.
Meanwhile even retired-aviation 'professionals' happily stir the pot either oblivious or uncaring of the memories, feelings and reputations of the
victimes of this tragedy. <
You seem to have simplified your view to "Them vs Us" arguments wth little room for trust and understanding of the process.
No accident professional accident investigator uses the word "blame" including Airbus. The idea is to establish causal findings including the pilots actions. If you think this is uncaring so be it, but the idea is to identify and implement appropriate corrective actions.
The investigation is not over and I don't even think that they have concluded that the pilots actions ARE causal but just that they might be and it might be a good idea to change the training that contributed.
Overly defensive attitudes in an ongoing investigation also impede the findings as well. With that said I do appalud the arguments in this forum about whether pilot actions could or should affect the structural outcome under those conditions of flight.
