Bearfoil,
I understand and respect your motivation of keeping the pressure up on BEA.
However, I'm not sure if this is really the right platform and the ideal way to achieve this.
What is written here will have very little effect in the grand scale of things....
Secondly, I'm not convinced that not finding the recorders is really in the interest of Airbus.
It leaves a doubt.
Which cannot be resolved without the recorders.
So they must be surely interested in finding it, to make clear that it can't happeb again to an Airbus (except if AF447 was really knocked out of the sky by the big one).
And if AI is interested in finding it, why should BEA be not.
Discussing all possibilities and their probabilities on the other hand is valuable and IMHO also appropriate here.
