And sadly it was not the last. An Asiana cargo 744 went down off of Cheju Island a couple of years later. Another out of control fire that a Class E compartment was never meant for.

which explicitly states that the A330 can be stalled outside of Normal Law.

Of course it can be stalled once the computers give up the ghost. It's still an airplane after all. 2 wings, 2 engines and all the other plane parts that make it fly.

Vanity Fair article on AF447

There is an excellent article in Octobers issue of Vanity Fair called Human Factors. Written by a non-pilot but very well researched. A recommended read for all of us.

I hope you read it....

China OWNS most expat pilots

I saw an advertisement for one of the many Chinese airlines and the aid said " we own the most expat pilots" so maybe they were not kidding.

Good luck in China.
