Would that be all pilots, pilots flying for American, pilots flying transport category airplanes, pilots flying A-300s, pilots flying Airbus equipment, or pilots being paid to fly, … of course, this list could go on … but, I think you get the idea.

Do you have a specific requirement that should be changed? Or does that mean all requirements should just change? Is there a suggested amount of change you had in mind? And, should all the rules and requirements be changed every time there is an accident … and only half of those rules and requirements each time there is an incident? Just wondering?

Uh ... which do you mean? "Movement of the control to the stops." OR "Movement of the control to the stops, and immediately reverse to the other stop, and immediately reverse to the other stop, and immediately reverse to the other stop, and immediately reverse to the other stop, and immediately reverse ... and so on until structural failure occurs."
If it's the first one - no problem. If it's the second one, I DO NOT volunteer to gather the flight test data!
