Well...
Usual stuff from you aimed at the very same goal. Please, just read the last findings in the last BEA note and you'll see it written black on white:
New findings
At this stage of the investigation, as an addition to the BEA interim reports of 2 July and 17 December 2009, the following new facts have been established:
*The composition of the crew was in accordance with the operator’s procedures.
Which mean that they obviously perfectly know who was where.... they just didn't tell it to you for some very reasonable reasons at this stage of the investigation. Remember those previous press headlines (Times, etc.) about "Baby AF pilot killed 228!".
Nonetheless, the only relevant part of your quote is this one:
durant la période de repos du commandant de bord, un pilote possédant la même licence que lui doit être aux commandes.
Which mean that during the Captain resting time, the Pilot Flying (PF)
must be the one having the same licence as the Captain (ATPL), hence the PF
must have been the senior F/O and it seems also that he really was, despite those news headlines, because that is what the BEA is already saying about it (read it again and again):
The composition of the crew was in accordance with the operator’s procedures.
Clear enough, isn't it?
