Hi guys, bonjour ATC
Woah, I did not expect to open a can of worms about the various ways this statement from Fabius could be heard.
French being my mother tongue, I wanted to point out it coudl be understoon both ways. It seems itīs not the case and the crew made two requests.
I do not think itīs actually relevant.
Letīs wait for FDR and CVR to bring more clues.
