YOU CAN’T FIGHT CITY HALL...................
Seems like dirt daubers plugged up the pitot.
Air France - gov’t owned
Airbus - gov’t owned
Not guilty by government appointed courts
This is probably the best series about air disasters

This is a weird verdict to say the least. Air France admitted that their pilots screwed up. It’s pretty clear they weren’t properly trained to handle this relatively minor problem.
That said, I’m not really clear on what the point is of putting a company on trial for a criminal offense. After all, you can’t put a company in jail.
Remember this one
Pilots literally stalled a perfectly functional airplane, I’m spite of the systems warning them they were stalling they continued to pull up on the sticks. Main captain was off duty he did wake up and enter the cockpit and figured it out and ordered the pilots on duty to nose down but it was already too late.
I don’t see how airbus would have culpability, I don’t recall any mechanical malfunction or design error being part of the cause of this accident.
The claim by the court that “ The court said even if errors had been committed, a causal link between them and the crash could not be proved.” Is a lie.. the pilots errors were the direct cause of this crash.
Court chose to protect airbus and not Justice… but no one should be surprised.. US courts did same thing with Boeing.. 346 people died in 2 crashed of the 737 max caused completely by design failures and flat out complete fraud committed by Boeing and US courts took a plea from Boeing that ensured no one would face criminal prosecution.
