Cappy,

I had seen the Boeing video - which is several years old - and believe some if not most of the issues have been addressed. It's always BAD to see profits trump quality.

As for the A330....
I have to wonder if they had the ignition to flight start?
I know little about the "Bus" but have to guess they must have continuous ignition and a stronger flight start ignition.

I have flown through heavy rain many times, but always put the ignition on.

The report says they "plunged" in altitude loss, more like a slow glide until they got the engines started.
