I played tennis with an airline stewie ( husband's a pilot for United ) today that said the rumor is that the pilot and co-pilot were ASLEEP and the Air France plane went down on auto-pilot.

The plane was flying 'heavy'......meaning there were three in the cockpit. And the autopilot disengaged when it got conflicting signals on speed well before all communication with the plane was severed.
