Utter rubbish. The income that sustains my employer comes in part from organisations with whom I disagree. Does that factor change my personal or professional opinion?
No - and any tenuous link you try to draw between the French state stake in Airbus and BEA conclusions is utterly reprehensible. Did the RAE skimp on the Comet enquiry despite the aircraft's state subsidies? Does the NTSB frequently do the same ("Hoot" Gibson case aside)? With all due respect I think you need to find another hobby.

It turns it OFF and latches it OFF until ground crews perform maintenance.
