Incredible incompetence. The flight should have avoided the massive turbulence that triggered the event. The flight crew was too lazy to study the weather conditions despite the reputation of the area for severe weather. No design engineer could have foreseen the bungling after the problem began. Three stooges in the cockpit brought the plane down.
My comment was more about the commonality between the other poster’s truck woes and the AF447 equipment-oriented failures. As a system component, the flight deck crew definitely figures into the cascading errors experienced. I most certainly agree with you on that.
Barky has a lot in common with Bonin, pulling back on the control in a death grip to raise taxes, increase drag, decrease lift, as our national 747 descends in a stall. Does it ever cross Barky's mind to push forward on the control once as an experiment and see if he gets a different result? Or is he so far in over his head he has only one trick. We've got a chance to pull out of this dive next November. Hopefully that's before impact.
