I guess it would be prudent to take what is said in this conversation with a grain of salt because there are a lot of unknowns.
Beniada is an aviation journalist, with a quite nice photo book about Concorde to his credit. His competence and experience as a pilot is unknown.
Feldzer did fly as an Airbus captain... then became director of the Le Bourget museum. Now retired, and mostly known as a "talking head"/"expert" the moment French TV needs one.
He's the one that came up with the moronic idea of starting up the engines of one of the French museum Concordes.... which should give you an idea of his "technical competence".
