I fully agree with TheShadow and his great post: #1222…
Then I fear you too are not prepared to READ the BEA note carefully and try to correlate what TheShadow asserts happen verses what is reported. The two DO NOT line up.

For one and very important point, TheShadow asserts that the aircraft was placed into the initial climb by the automation at drop out, but that is NOT what the BEA reports:

From 2 h 10 min 05 , the autopilot then auto-thrust disengaged and the PF said "I have the controls". The airplane began to roll to the right and the PF made a left nose-up input.
Since this simple statement is completely ignored (since it doesn't fit with the story TheShadow is telling), it follows that other salient and significant points are also misused or ignored to fit. It is true that the limited details we do have leaves much unanswered, but you can be pretty damn sure that the info we do have is correct and meaningful (least otherwise the wrath of the aviation community will descend on the BEA and all associated).
