Hi Everybody,

This is an important update:

Although I only heard this once on the national news radio network (CBN), I think it extremely important.

There is a lot of news reports concerning how the pilots union in Air France are threatening to strike if the "Pitots" are not changed immediately.

Attention: This is a RED HERRING!!

An anonymous source in the Boeing Corporation said that this story was arranged to take blame away from Boeing, which is finacially ailing, for the accident.

The apparent blame takes the heat off of Air France the airline and Boeing the aeroplane manufacturer and puts the heat on the manufacturer of the 'Pitot' which is exchanging the parts anyway! That way, customers will not refuse to buy Air France Airline tickets and airlines will not cancel Boeing aeroplanes.

If this is the case, the two companies would 'arrange' the compensation payments by the Pitot manufacturer to the family of the passengers under the table, but removing them from the blame.

I had a quick look on the internet for more sources for this information, but couldn't find one. Perhaps more details will appear later on tomorrow.

I knew the position of the Air France pilots was premature, but just couldn't work out why. When I heard this news report, the penny dropped.

Keep an eye open people!

Best regards,

Steve
