I can't think of any reason to go after c/b's, unless... the switch/button isn't doing zip.

I thought I had read that they were at 350 and climbed 3000fpm. But I see I read it wrong. Thanks for the clarification.

Have they recovered the cockpit end of the aircraft yet? I saw they got the tail out.
Once they do, it seems it would be easy to determine if the Capt. was in his seat or not, and also if the circuit breaker was pulled or not.

Where in the world does this whole "Tail Falling Off Airbus'" thing come from?
I remember (1) flight where this happened to the AA out of Kennedy. What others were confirmed that airbus has a tail falling off issue?
I hear people saying this all of the time. And just like any pilot, I too like to say what other cool pilots say, just for the sake of sounding like a cool pilot. Help me sound cooler

The A320 tail is something to reckon with. Here's a Syrian A320 that had a midair collision. Landed safely:

I think the design was weak (although within allowed regulatory standards) , and that was a contributing factor.
Aviation Week did an article on this years ago, I recall that Boeing said the minimum design strength requirement was inadequate and that they always added more strength to the tail attachment than was required.
