I fly Airbus A330. A lot of what the French captain apparently says is interesting and certainly food for thought - I don't see it as BS, perhaps someone could enlighten me - I don't think I could wade through all the AF447 threads again to pick out the facts from the nonsense.
Another interesting thing is that in all my recurrent LPC/OPC SIMs since AF447, I have not been presented with the situation that AF447 had. Yes, we have practised a bit of high level manual handling, and stall recovery, and unreliable airspeed, but I have not had everything thrown at me at once and at high altitude; Flying along at FL350 and without warning received unreliable airspeed, alternate law, A/P, A/THR and F/D, all dropping out, different FL presentation, a possibly confusing speed trend arrow, and several alarms going off all at the same time.
I think we should all be presented with this in our SIMs as an un-briefed surprise, and to enable us to possibly experience the confusion the AF447 crew had.
My trainers have so far not taken the opportunity to do this, which is odd.
