And they are doing it again...

Air France, meanwhile, told its pilots in a memo obtained by The Associated Press that it is replacing instruments that affect flight speed in all its bigger jets. Investigators have focused on the equipment's possible role in the disaster.

This directive stems from 2002 (!), got picked up by the press, and now the story has become it´s own dynamic business, being repeated and repeated.

The accident aircraft is from 2005, hence had the new pitot tubes already.
