aterpster I understand your point but at the same time who says that the complex aircraft that Boeing and Airbus are creating are safe in the first place. As in all things as the systems become more complex the people who use and approve them need to develop and advance in their understanding of the systems and programs. This would or should be true with the individuals doing the certification of these aircraft and pilots. In my current position I can't design a process and then approve it as being acceptable so why should Manufacturers be permitted to do this.
