HN39,
Agreed, I should have just said that whatever 'protection' was responsible for the Turkish zoom climb event, it couldn't apply to AF447 if, as we are told, none of the protections other than g were active in ALT 2. The brief description given by the BEA suggest that it was indeed PF who commanded the climb, which just makes it all the more important to figure out what persuaded him this was a good plan, or prevented him from stopping it.
