And this is the problem:
INFO LE FIGARO - AF 447 : Airbus mis hors de cause par les boîtes noires
Fabrice Amedeo
The guy is a journalist at Le Figaro, he doesn't have the slightest clue about aviation, and his mission in life seems to be to throw mud at Air France. Published a book on the "hidden sides of Air France" which was full of wrong facts, wrong conclusions and overall just lots of rubbish.
I would be the first to call AF a bunch of dangerous cowboys if there are some facts which come from serious sources. But that guy? Forget it. Of course he would spin the story in such a way as to make AF look like imbeciles.
