Air France vs. Airbus
May 5th 2012 17:47
New details are starting to emerge from the Air France disaster involving AF 447, the flight bound from Rio de Jeneiro to Paris. There may also be a bitter fight involving fault on the part of Air France and the airline manufacturer Airbus.
I had previously written how the A 330 may make pilots rather lax, because it practically flies itself. In the end pilot error was blamed, something that does not sit well with Air France that believes its pilots are the best trained in the industry.
The disaster was one of the worst in aviation history, and it took a long time to locate the black box. But now in an eerie turn of events, it seems like both circumstances in the cockpit and aircraft design may have ultimately played a role in the crash.
The crash outcome verdict can be a PR nightmare to both the airline and airline manufacturer.
