Thank you sir. In your link, we read an opinion from BEA as to what the crew "concluded". On its face, this statement is preposterous, since it imputes conclusions to the pilots based only on comment they made earlier. No one in public knows what the pilots were thinking, and BEA, having tipped their hand, may know, and appear to be rigging the playing field.
BEA present it as fact.
This release contains condemnation of Airbus and the airline sufficient to confirm my proposal. Read it with care, allow for some interpretive changes, and the accident falls to Airbus almost completely.
This fatal wreck happened in the ten seconds post a/p loss, and the pilots, though involved, were not entirely responsible. One needs to take the BEA with generous portions of salt. What about "Rapid Climb", and "the aircraft was not immediately responsive" sounds familiar? Think of another similar incident, one with a better outcome.
@Machinbird. Your cite of PIO is instructive. You neglect another form of out of sync C/R.
