If I was leading the investigative team, I would have been livid to have been approached by any one from Airbus. Do you think this anomaly was spontaneous?
Well, you weren't leading the investigation - and in real terms it made sense. I suspect that if the BEA had been asked and they weren't certain they wouldn't have allowed the statement to be released. It's unusual, but logical - and IMO it's a big stretch to call it suspicious.
