That is an excellent video. Mayday Air Disasters is a good series - and factually accurate.

The AF447 crash generated a lot of scrutiny in the airline training/simulator world. Most of the (U.S.) majors dedicated targeted simulator time to high-altitude upset recovery training as a result of this crash.

Airbus design and training requires the cockpit crews to be airplane operators, not pilots.
