No question this crew did a brilliant job (gear retraction notwithstanding)


No one seems to be questioning Boeings design logic here however. I understand the reasons for the auto slat retraction on landing with reverse thrust activation.


What I dont understand is why this system does not lock out above say 100 knots.


No matter what your engines are doing none of us want our slats auto retracting as we are approaching or are after rotation speed.


Seems an easy fix ?
