Since Trump ordered the plane grounded in the US, the point is now moot. I highly doubt the French are worried much about their tires, engines perhaps a little but certainly no where near as much as competition for Airbus.

In this day and age of satellites and cloud capability, it baffles me why the only copy of the data is stored on a physical device that is prone to loss/damage.
You do know that they just don't go down the local aircraft store and buy a plane off the lot? These things are ordered years in advance, this should be sorted out well before it starts to affect sales, if not that's on Boeing.
I'm just spitballing here but I wonder if there are concerns that someone could intercept the transmissions, decode them and mastermind some sort of terrorist plot.
$$$. As in too much of it to bother given the comparatively minimal risk that the data won’t be recovered.
Not Jason, Tyson. He was my team lead at BenefitFocus years ago. He hit a homer. He also flipped a plan while learning. Ran off the runway and over she went. I put an upside down plan on his desk the next morning. Shawn Jenkins at BF had a SR22 that he used to fly. Our CIO had a Mooney. Tyson and I worked under the CIO.
Coming from a strictly Boeing background, I never wanted anything to do with the Airbus. Didn’t like it’s design philosophy, etc.. Then I spent a few years in both seats on it. It’s a damn nice place to work. I’m back in the 737 now and would like to ask Boeing at what point they decided they hated pilots. It’s like doing trans-cons in a porta-potty.
787 then. I remember one of them being grounded for a while due to fire issues. Point being, Boeing has the capability to call for a grounding outside of what the FFA does.
