I'm sure the "Red Haired Witch of Wapping" is not featuring in the BEA's analysis of the demise of AF447, and likewise the same lady wouldn't have found anything of salacious media interest worth publishing in her former rag(s).
On the other hand, Le Dauphine's latest article -
L’AF447 ou le droit de savoir (AF447 - The right to Know) - is clearly pointing the finger at "crew competence" or lack of it, and to the dubious credibility of Air France.
The exponential demand for pilots by companies in emerging countries means that more than ever the need for competent men in charge must be faced.
Protect the integrity of Airbus Industries and make Air France and its employees the "sacrificial lamb" is my read on this Irčne Perrin article.
Numerous issues are raised, including simulator training and management, but nowhere in the article does the word "securitie" in the safety sense get a mention.
