Every aircraft with fore/aft adjustable pilot seats and a control column has a pinch point/design flaw/Achilles heel if, say, a flight bag or NVG case was placed immediately forward of the seat. By the same logic being used here, why do all aircraft not have warning hatching (or proximity sensors) there? More so since most types don’t have the flight envelope protection which saved the Voyager in this case.
