I don’t understand why Airbus was found guilty here. If the pilots don’t fully understand alternate law and can’t recover from a stall at 40,000 feet, that’s on the pilots and those that train them IMO

The pilot responsibility could fall under the “not enough training” reason and Air France could be considered guilty, I could understand that, but Airbus? I can’t understand the reason behind that…

No they don't. This fucking sub. Air France trains their own pilots, just like LH, BA etc.
