Yes, I agree with you.
It is a serious design shortfall of the aircraft that could have been overcome by proper notification from Airbus that was not carried out.
Better yet would be conversion back to the original A300B4 rudder load limiter system, but that would not be so simple.
Small fleet with a lot of incidents and an accident related to this problem. A problem unique to the A300600.
If you have that once in a career reaon to use the rudder when the aircraft is going faster (like crossing a 747s wake turbulence at a distance below the minimum safe distance) you are walking into a killer trap laid there by a poor design, which will lead to a POI.
And as I stated, it wasn't an American Airlines only problem. A couple of European airlines have stumbled across the trap as well.
