Port Strobe: the plan for carriage of doctors was suggested to me by the chief engineer of the A380 project, further than than that I cannot speculate.
As regards the health of the aircraft being monitored by computer, I see your point, but I feel one of the lessons from the Air Transat accident is that the computers cannot do the same job as an FE, especially if the commander doesn't trust them.
