Such arrant nonsense concerning Just Culture. Try going to explain to the mother of the child that the twit who left the brake off and killed her child will get the same treatment as the twit who did the same and nothing happened. No we don't treat the twit who committed the error the same in all circumstances

It's not the placement of the camera that is the problem here. It's the ignorance of where it was when the seat was motored forward, the ignorance of AP disconnection when the sidestick was moved (before the major push to full forward limits) the ignorance of control law implementation, the ignorance of sidestick priority handling and the mishandling of the situation by both pilots. Compounded with what, on the face of it, appears to be less than complete frankness in the debrief.

The initial error was not grave, the resultant handling of the aircraft leads to some very serious questions about the level of competency displayed.
