Certainly, that is correct. However, since there is no data supplied by BEA to warrant a different pov, the fact remains that public knowledge is what we are addressing. I credit an attentive employee of Air France with the release of ACARS to the public domain. Almost certainly, no Company approval would have been forthcoming. At the very least, maintenance issues are proprietary. No public dissemination is required, except as subpoenaed or demanded by a court, and for judicially established relevance. ACARS is intended to be "eyes only" and that for essential people exclusively. A corporation is legally treated as an individual, and privacy is universally acknowledged as a right. Where is this public spirited person now? Sweeping out a boulangerie at minimum wage?
