I wouldn't say my opinion is subjective, its based on 20 years as an avionic technician, of which the last 7 i have been instructing apprentices on how modern avionic system function. Any good avionic technical book by the likes of Pallet, Jeppesen and others will verify what i have said.

My opinion is based on the ATSB's Preliminary Report, and on the Four Corners interviews with the crew about the ECAM 'bombardment'. I don't claim any pilot or avionics experience - mine is a different perspective.
