Not sure what you mean by "real altitude rise with working static ports" - I'm aware of the effects of blocked pitots and statics on airspeed and/or altitude information - just trying to see your point.

That said, loss of airspeed information does not automatically result in loss of control as, (say) loss of attitude information would. So something else happened, and these points have been made throughout the thread. But my point remains, it has no relationship with the A319 event which was "local" and mostly roll not pitch related as someone has already keenly observed. BTW, they changed the VS on the aircraft.
