Pilot error?

“I ask again - why is it you're asking this of the BEA and no other accident investigation bureau/institution? Is one incident forever going to preclude acceptance of any finding of theirs that includes "pilot error" as a factor?
Also, you're a pilot, I'm an engineer - but I wouldn't trust myself to derive a correct conclusion from the raw data. What makes you so sure you could? “
Just for the record, the mission of EVERY investigating body, is to gather the facts and make a determination of Probable Cause and to recommend a fix, but NOT to affix blame, fault, or liability, which is left to legal venues.
As a pilot all I want is all the given facts and then I can make my own conclusion regarding what to do about it. In this case avoid thunderstorms at all costs. Period.
It is way too early to start figuring out how to recover from an out of control deep stall, when in fact they won’t even allow pilots to practise “hand flying” in the simulator at altitude, let alone in the airplane.
No one knows what the plane is going to do.
