I think we have to let go the thought that the accident of AF447 has something to do with the "laws" of an Airbus fbw aircraft. Why? Because the very same incident happend later again on AF471. The later was in normal law without icing of the pitots (as far as we know at the moment). It is clearly a human issue, mostly because of inproper training. You could discuss for ages (and you actually do) that it has to do with the automatics, and it is so, but we have to live with it as long as Airbus are the way they are. But it's no rocket science to find out how you have to handle an aircraft in such a situation. Many crews have proven it since today and will do in the future.
