Does anyone read or heard comments from BEA on these seats?
They recovered two seats with remains, and the chart has 4 seats (including the 2 crew seats) marked in red indicating (we suspect) that they have been recovered. "Who was flying?" would have to be one of the key questions that the accident investigation would have to settle. This recovery was done very early in the recovery effort, so it is likely that the judiciary and BEA both agreed that these particular remains needed to be recovered. Until there is a positive identification, I doubt that there will be an announcement of who/what was the target of that particular recovery.
