@ JW411
I only give the AMM reference.
I do not know if or how there was a crosstalk between Air Inter and the MCC of AF.
Without this knowledge ist is impossible to point out the guilty person or organisation.
@ Safety Concerns
That is no nitpicking. This is the actual AF A330 AMM.
I warmly recommend to read the A330 AMM (especially the part in conjunction with Zone 3)
