A sore spot since the beginning. Rapid understanding is critical, there is no call for delay, imho. Yes, resources. "WARNING: speeds suspect, recall Pitch and Power for conditions and config. No delay."

There was a great pressure, to which BEA succumbed, in releasing a memorandum which Airbus scanned and re-released.

"There are no NEW mechanical issues with our a/c, per BEA"
They needed that for the airshow.

Diagnostic, consider what it would mean in the middle of this investigation, for Airbus to reconfigure their cockpit systems to include UAS/WARN.

Everyone knows the problem, but so long as Airbus do not address it with upgrades, it does not "exist".

To react is to confess. In the case of Air France, they had a reason and an excuse to r/r the Pitot Probes. The PILOTS would not fly until they were changed.

It would be impossible for pilots to gather to protest a fleetwide problem caused by the aircraft itself........and not just a subcontractor eg Pitots, or Duff "pipe"

No amount of soothing words can alter the fact that UAS remains a problem for the platform, not just the pilots.
