As France has never accepted responsibility for any of it's crashes throughout it's history, this is really not a surprise any more than the Polish crash report that has just placed the presidents crash squarely on the shoulders of the Russian air traffic control. The Russians placed the blame squarely on the pilots shoulders.

This story goes against what was already posted a while back, when they found out one of the pitot probs went bad, and kept feeding the aircraft bad data, and the pilots were fighting it the whole time.

It appears that the flight deck crew was monitoring the changing weather conditions and thus altered the flight path, that the initial problem was the failure of the speed probes which led to the disconnection of the autopilot and the loss of the associated piloting protection systems, and that the aircraft stalled at high altitude. It also appears that the flight captain quickly interrupted his rest period to regain the cockpit. The crew, made up of three skilled pilots, demonstrated a totally professional attitude and were committed to carrying out their task to the very end and Air France wishes to pay tribute to them.
