WHY DON'T THEY USE DATALINKS FOR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL?
Why do we persist in using the same system that we used during world war two? You know, the limited capacity one that can only handle one call at a time, and is error prone, because transmissions are often over transmitted by another staiion.
Taxis can do it.
I know that data links are used for many aviation purposes, but we still have "yabb yabba yabba"in terminal areas. We have lost aeroplanes due to communications errors.

If those instruments were wrongly wired I would expect the aircraft manufacturer to be sued for huge ammounts, along with all the crews and engineers who flew or maintained this aeroplane before this accident.
Do you really just grab for a lever without looking at it? If you do then the thrust indicators could be put somewhere else.

That is another important subject that no-one is doing anything about.
