This may have been answered before, but in a highly-automated airplane such as this, why did it not occur to PF or PM to re-activate AP when airspeed indications tallied? One assumes that 'pitch and thrust' would be one of the first things the AP would 'try', since that's been identified endlessly as the missing reaction?
Also, how come there was no warning when control input asymmetry of a certain magnitude/duration was observed by the flight management system? That would seem like a sound worth hearing.
Yeah, I'm but a punter, but one with a lot of time paying your salaries, and enough wits about me to comprehend much of this. So ne flamez-vous pas, svp.
