If - and that's still a big If, but what else but speculating can you do on an aviation forum when the plane is not even found, let alone the final results of the investigation are known - you'd have another (Airbus) plane getting in major trouble and even ditch in the sea due to severe weather conditions, it means that Airbus has to come up with something that might cost them a small fortune.
But again, I'm merely asking a question 'what if'...
