HN39, beyond the hyperbolic language used by a PPRuNe poster, is it your position that the crew of AF447 were either oblivious to, or unconcerned about, the weather they were experiencing and expecting along their flight planned route?
From what I have read in 3 BEA interim reports (translated) there is ample evidence that they were concerned about it.
If you feel that the language used in JE-EE's musing, or speculation, is over the top I understand.
The point behind the musing, however expressed, should not be overlooked in analysis of this event.
As I noted a few posts back, the guess may be wrong. We cant' read minds, and we can't read minds two years ago. That doesn't mean we ought to ignore how various factors play into cockpit decision making.
