The reason why I mentioned pitot issues is because on modern Airbus airliners, the pitot tubes on the front of the plane are critical in providing data to the fly-by-wire computers. If the pitot tubes freeze up, that can cause erroneous readings, and one wonders if Indonesia AirAsia 8501--another A320--crashed because the flight crew did not respond properly to a failing pitot tube issue while flying in that thunderstorm.

i know something about FBW systems and that is my suspicion, tho I was under the impression that the pitot problem had been fixed by Airbus. (If it hadn’t, then they are in deep doo-doo)
