I don’t doubt your information that there are problems with A320’s flight control system. The point is that if the audio recording for this particular flight reveals that the pilot was desperately trying to regain access to the cockpit, but was manually locked out by the copilot, who was awake and breathing normally while everyone else was screaming in terror, it seems exceedingly unlikely that this situation in the cockpit was unrelated to the crash and the actual cause was some mechanical problem that went unnoticed. Do you not see how monumentally illogical that is?

I see how you are jumping to conclusions and how you don’t understand how easily it is to become disoriented and distracted in the cockpit of a complex aircraft. See post 112

The flight manual states that the control unit is responsible for: •Locking or unlocking the door latches, upon flight crew action •Unlocking the door i, in case of cockpit decompression (the door then opens towards the cockpit under differential pressure) •Indicating system failures of electrical latches and pressure sensors •Activating the access request buzzer and turning on the keypad LEDs On the Airbus A320, there are three settings: •Unlock: This position is used to enable the cabin crew member to open the door. The switch must be pulled and maintained in the unlocked position until the door is pushed open. •Normal: All latches are locked, and EMERGENCY access is possible for the cabin crew •Lock: Once the button has been moved to this position, the door is locked; emergency access, the buzzer, and the keypad are inhibited for a preselected time (5 to 20 min)
