can anyone verify that these automated messages relay this information or does anyone have working knowledge of the airbus 330-200 software systems? if thats true, why was there a delay in responding to the messages from the aircraft? were they not considered dangerous or was no one monitoring the incoming messages? and when these "automated messages" are received by the system in whatever base of operations, shouldnt certain items throw up a red flag and an engineer or someone be notified?
i'd like to know what the process is, i dont know how that could have helped the poor souls aboard that ship but perhaps the response time could have been shorter and the possibility of finding any survivors would might have existed
