You may be right. Some one soon is going to ask if the flight was survivable.
By that I mean, some blend of autoflight (NOT AUTOPILOT), and Captain/FO could have punched through to Paris (Or Afrique, or...). In two years I have been unable to come up with a good story Air France (and Airbus) could use to deflect liability. If there is one, I'm stumped.
Because it looks like she made it to the water with both engines alight. If it is a couple ounces of frozen water, then that makes a poor wall behind which to hide.
You said.... "....But, if we come back to airline ops, I guess my point remains valid. We have a piece of equipment that is designed against specs that are not in line with today's requirements...."
By equipment did you mean PRIM? or PITOT.........
