I believe the Airbus system wouldn't allow that.  Such an attempt would get overridden...

I believe you are correct, you just completed the last piece of the puzzle for me (EgytAir 990 was a Boeing 767)

And Air France was the opposite problem.  The pilot was pulling back on the joystick during a stall without realizing what he was doing until it was too late.  They've probably mitigated that scenario as well since then.

Air France was an Airbus but that fight has a problem with a faulty sensor so the plane switched to manual.

What would be good at this point?
Rather have a mechanical issue than a suicidal pilot

Why is it that in the year 2015, there is no live video of the cockpit being transmitted (and recorded) to an air traffic controller base? Wouldn't this end all speculation about what happened, and give a clear picture?

Also, why are there no bathrooms in the cockpit? Wouldn't it be better if pilots did not need to exit the cockpit for any reason during the flight?

There should be live video cameras as well as a control that should allow the plane to be controlled remotely such as a a UAV.

Why is it that in the year 2015, there is no live video of every operating room being transmitted (and recorded) to a medical malpractice investigator base? Wouldn't this end all speculation about what happened, and give a clear picture?

Or insert ANY profession where there is a possibility of human mess-ups (namely any profession involving humans).

Do you have any idea how much data that would take to record, transmit, and store from every cockpit in the air?

No, how much. More than storing a picture of every mail piece or package that goes through USPS?

Don't pay the pilots, just let them MS for an hour at each city they land at.

Video is way more then still images and that's just recording and storing, live streaming the  data from anywhere in world would be a fortune and would demand a whole new infrastructure.
