I know that your second question has been posed before, It was I who posed it. Too much appears to have occurred prior to AS disagree to assume that the pitots were in any way compromised, or the statics, for that matter, imo. The pertinent question is to ask a 330 pilot if he thinks it possible, a/p active, to encounter Unusual attitude sufficient to disturb airflow twixt port and starboard to create discrepant readings that might mimic Pitot Fail? Adding allowed Pitch and Roll excursions (might as well include some Yaw) together creates quite a large circle of offline attitude as described by the nose relative to straight and level.
I haven't any access to the 330, but occasionally visit a 300 freighter. The last time we met, there were brand new and beautiful Pitots attached to either side of the Fuselage, and there were four of them. Imagine.
