Nigd3,

The statement I made wasn't regarding whether Boeing made a mistake or not with the design but that idle-bystander thought the system designer should be ashamed of himself. However with your quoted reference data, you should also be aware that Boeing do not make engines or hold their TC
Right! See you point. Still I doubt Rolls-Royce isn't in the same perfect shape as some thinks Boeing is... "Don't you think Rolls-Royce know how to make engines?", I can hear someone say.

Talking about high pitch close to stall... Some are suggesting that pilots were looking out to see the runway. Cloud at 700' so when coming through the cloud base they would be able to see the horizon. Or... ??? At the increasing nose-up pitch, maybe they didn't see it? Anyway, it should be possible to see of feel the pitch when they came down to 700', right?

Q: What do you (normally) detect first when getting close to a stall, the presumably awkward look of the visual references outside, or the stick shaker?

Edit: Or to put it another way: What comes first: The look or the feel?
