Agreed, and that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that the conclusion Winnerhofer is drawing - namely that the DGAC knew of issues at AF and wilfully ignored them - is not supported by the evidence.

Regarding former FAs on the flight deck, I'll confess I was incorrect and Robert was never a FA. However, according to the Final Report neither was Bonin - the only flight crew member noted as having converted from CC was in fact Capt. Dubois - and the process of conversion lasted from 1979 to 1982 - hardly a recent event!
