What the local papers say...
Here in Germany the local papers are repeating the two main points, in layman's language, from the report: the crew did not cope adequately with the problem, and part of the problem was the design of the aircraft.
It will be interesting to see if there's any significant drop in traffic for Air France after this. I don't think there will be, while the A330 is a very popular type of airliner and likely to remain so.
It seems pretty obvious that climbing at a fixed power setting from cruise is going to cause a reduction in speed. That's something we learn very early in our training. Never mind what, if anything, the ASI is showing, it should be obvious that a gain in altitude implies a reduction in speed if nothing else has changed, so? Of course that basic point is very obvious in a simple aircraft, but it was clearly overlooked in this complicated A330. I guess that means it will be 'Back to the drawing board,' in some measure.
