Admittedly from reading accident followups from the past and conversation with buddies who also are long time Boeing jockeys- as such biased (bigots against airbus). So, should the focus be on the pitots (per another commentary on “freezing up”)? What would make the aircraft go into a stall on it’s own from previous level flight? With the “summing” effect in one consideration adding even more nose up commands, why would they have done that in the first place if the plane was in a stall? Do you think the computer locked them out because of false airspeed. Thanks for the admonishment and for your experience.

Pitot system. From the first hours after the accident, that has been the theory. It is supported by known incidents in A320, A330, and A340 aircraft with that series of pilot system.
