Why would you say that? Airbus acknowledged the pitot issue and released a service bulletin to the airlines months before the accident and simultaneously issued "workaround" instructions to pilots at the same time, while the issue was being fixed. What more could they reasonably have done?
Did I say anything derogatory of Airbus, or imply a BEA cover-up? I can't see where I did. My comment was that the article in question had singled out Air France and the crew as being responsible before the BEA has released its final report - a long way off (time wise) methinks.
So don't get me wrong DW, I am not bashing Airbus and never have. My comments were reflecting the content of the article.
CJ - Agree.
