(Re)Marks: (reference: post #974)
Air France :
a) I cannot comment; if true, I (sadly) won't be entirely suprised. Let's say 1.
b) Wrong; AF asked; to say "not with enough emphasis" is hindsight. 0.
c) How is this relevant? Doesn't BUSS work @ lower than FL250 only? No one can tell a BUSS-equipped A330 would have met a different ending, this night. 0.
d) It may have been better worded (and was, since). But it was not inappropriate. 0.25 for the ink.
e) Agreed. Regarding stall recovery, it was not AF, it was industry-wide. 0.75.
Total: 2/5. Case lost IMO.
Airbus :
a) Wrong. First event in the chain does not equal to root cause. 0.
b) Wrong. Their fault didn't generate (in the sense of being responsible of). 0.
c) I cannot comment; if true, I (sadly) won't be entirely suprised. Let's say 1.
d) Is same than C. No point.
e) Wrong. 0.
Total: 1/5 (because I have no argument against/for this unique point). Case lost IMO.
It should be added that Airbus and Air France have deep pockets, and sprinkle a few coefficients on all this for a chance to win the day.
OTOH, thanks for you last links, will read that with attention a bit later
