Air France has provided documents to establish a "proactive position"?
Perhaps, except in the case of all the 330s it flew prior to 447's demise.
One does remember the pilot's action, a labor action, that prompted the replacement of at least two of the Thales with Goodrich. Perhaps that is AF's definition of "Proactive".
A lack of proposed search areas.....what's that about?
This is very good news.
