Chilling reading. It leaves an open question: had the captain been on seat, had he made any difference?

"For several years now, Airbus has offered its customers a special safety program - called "Buss" -- at a cost of €300,000 per aircraft. If the airspeed indicator fails, this software shows pilots the angle at which they must point the plane.

Up to now, Air France has chosen not to invest in this optional extra for its fleet."

Safety is an "optional extra" ?? To make matters worse it's code and not additional hardware.
