Hi,
Organfreak,
I say this in opposition to the idea that they didn't have enough information to fly the plane.
When i comment on the man-machine interface i am looking to the "global picture" the crew were submitted.
My simple (K.I.S.S. one) feeling is:
The man-machine interface should be improved. "Bus drivers" would like.
I am not saying to replace SS, etc. Airbus SAS certainly knows very well what to do.
And authorities (based in HF group) should act.
For the benefit of the entire industry.
But really, if neither of them had the altimeter in their scans, that would be shocking.
We do not have enough factual info. on that. We need to wait.
I am just trying to be better prepared to evaluate the conclusions.
