The question has to be the following. From 1000 randomly selected 737 crews, how many stuff it into the ground. Mind we are starting from 2 out of 3.
Had the planes been NGs with the same failure, AOA failed high on PF side on rotation), how many would have stuffed it into the ground? (I hope the answer is 0.)
Is the increase in this number acceptable and why was it allowed to increase?
