All in all, after thousands of pages of comment, the pitots were known junk, and the pilots acted to burn down the "status quo" (
). AF changed out the junk, and what remains is for even an average attorney to make even a weak case. Air Travel IS safe, so safe I am incensed that weak kneed and less than honest folk chip away at it.
I am not questioning the current airworthiness, I understand the issue has been addressed. I don't think that the system was airworthy at the time. What I am saying is, if they were known to be junk Airbus had an obligation to have an AD issued to insure they were changed out and they didn't do it until after this crash.
