I just want input on the safety issues
OK.. a more serious reply than my 1 above

Has FBW yet caused a fataility? The only accidents I can recall that seem the FBW was a "signficant factor" are QF72 (likely) and the Iberia A320 at BIO... neither of which had fatalities?

Has FBW saved any lives? Hard to say... but I guess it could be argued that at Habschiem (sp?) the FBW did save lives BA38 might be interesting to see if the FBW made things easier / gentler?

NoD
