We will have to find the recorders to know for certain but I am beginning to see potential Swiss Cheese holes in Airbus system design.
I have been following this thread since the beginning, like i am sure many many others, but just reading the contents of discussion trying to get my head around what happened to this flight. For the most the information is staggering and the knowledge of the primary contributors is very impressive, which is why i find the quoted comment alarming, is this the likely outcome of this whole sorry event, that the a330 has a built in flaw, are you suggesting that once the aircraft goes into ALT LAW, all protections are lost and the aircraft in severe turbulence anyway is un-flyable by the crew.
