OC, “if we ask whether the crew could have avoided the accident using knowledge that they could have reasonably expected to possess or have access to we reach an answer of yes they could.”
Do you think that they could have been reasonably expected to possess or have access to: manual flying expertise at FL350; and an appropriate UAS SOP at FL350?
(Not that these were the only factors in their inappropriate reaction to events – just some which seem to me and some others to exceed what might be expected, in view of the industry standard training in general from what I have deduced from these threads, and about AF training in particular.)
I think that SLF, regulators in principle, and MPs and the public, might have such reasonable expectations; but reading the difference between old-time pilots who grew up in a different era, and the modern 250-hour computer management “children of the magenta line”, do insiders believe it to be a reasonable expectation given the latter’s background?
