jcjeant,
Every time you set foot on a passenger aircraft - no, make that
any aircraft - you benefit from
every incident investigation (and subsequent recommendation) that has gone before.
For example, floor-level lights were mandated after an incident where passengers could not find their way out due dense smoke and died as a result. The idea to use high-intensity wingtip strobes whilst on an active runway strip did not come about just whilst some bright spark was singing in the shower.
Airbus would also be itching to know why one of their products apparently fell from the sky. Frankly so am I, given I strapped into their products from time to time. If AF can't or won't pay, I'm glad someone is willing and able to.
the company who make benefits by exploiting this aircraft ....
If you take benefits .. you must also take the responsability and costs.
Airbus "make benefit" by manufacturing this aircraft. Hence it is fair that Airbus "must also take the responsability and costs". And guess who has (at least in part) underwritten Airbus these last 40 years? Yep - the French / German / British / Spanish taxpayer.
