are we all thinking a pilot would get slow?

when you throw in the Buffalo, USA crash of the Q400 and all the talk about the crew letting the plane get slow and stall...and then people suggest the same thing might have happened in Amsterdam?

Something isn't making sense. Air speed on the approach is such a vital component of the instrument scan...

I do wonder if there is a computer glitch somewhere which might mislead the pilots with the display of airspeed?

And those of you who think the old ''steam powered '' gauges were bad...I'm wondering if we embraced these new efis types too quickly.
