Hi,

Again news in the press (Le Figaro)

Le Figaro - Flash Actu : Rio-Paris : de nouveaux lments

Google Traduction

And weird statements from the SNPL (the most important pilots union of Air France)
So for the SNPL .. just after the disconnection of the autopilot .. PF thought that the aircraft began to descend fast enough ... and so he reacted as we know (put the plane in a stall condition by pulling the stick for "regain" cruise altitude ) .....
Which pilot can think of such thing (important altitude loss after sudden disconnection of the autopilot while ... .. a few seconds before the aircraft was flying perfectly stable)
BEA report N°3
2 h 10 min 05 Altitude (ft) 35 024 (PA disconnection)
2 h 10 min 09 Altitude (ft) 34 664 Altitude ISIS (ft) 34 900
And I repeat these comments come from the majority pilots union pilots of Air France !
This gives again a very bad image of these .. "pilots" ? ...
It's no more "esprit de corps" .. it's foolish instead ..
