The answer was in the revised procedure that never showed up, following the known and discussed cases of Air Caraibe. Airbus acknowledged it was necessary to think about something to help a crew in such circumstances … We are still in the wait … Is it part of the recommendation chapter in the coming report … ?
Airbus initially wrote the reply to UAS in cruise is to adopt 5 deg of pitch up. The BEA confirmed such procedure in their press conference. Now, Airbus, through his chief pilot, says differently …
Big clarification up is necessary regarding UAS procedures, more specifically at high altitude. Pilots need clear procedures and relevant TRAINING !

The last time I did practice the exercise, it was just after take off and the first warning we got was : WINDSHEAR WINDSHEAR ... consistant with my airspeed going in the red.
