'Don't remember reading anything about pitot heat in the AF accident ('cept
to assume that it must have been OFF). You'd think that with all of that
computer automation, they'd have some quick and easy way to get some pitot
heat on whenever the airplane is anywhere near a cloud and temp. near or
below 0C; at the very least, maybe, a simple ON/OFF toggle or rocker switch
labeled, "PITOT HEAT" or "CHALEUR PITOT," or is that too Boeing-like or
Benzesque for such sophistication francais?

It's not clear that the flight control system would allow them to

Airbus. Boeing. You decide.

Apparently with the aircraft in a stall, the pilots (in manual control)
maintained a nose-up attitude and attempted to climb.
