Is it just my perception or is it that both FO's talk in vague terms. Lots of ambiguous references to up/down and to indicators. At one point is there confusion in what they are conversing about? I am not a native french speaker however at best the terminology sounds imprecise. Perhaps AF pilots have a verbal short hand? Did the pilots suddenly down shift from precise technical language only at the onset of problems?
Clearly there was adreniline with workload off the scale. However there appears to be much confusion in communications between pilots which is not normally present in incidents. Is this an area that needs adressing in training/line culture?
