Once again the sort of tabloid rubbish that ppruners seem so fond of especially 411A (Incidentally the 411A was just about the most dreadful aircraft ever made by Cessna, I digress)
B737 can roll over and die - nobody talks about it much. 747s can explode without reason like the occasional 737 and nobody talks about it.
People talk about FBW and Airbus like it is some evil plague sweeping the community - What are people trying to say here? Because the Airbus is FBW the aircraft has landing accidents? I've seen plenty of other airliners have accidents on landing. Airbus are tackling a potential problem with one 'standard' of ELAC not every ELAC since it has shown that in this instance it could have performed better. Without full knowledge of every single facet of the accident and the data surrounding it none of you pundits can make an informed, professional decision as to the cause of it.
Just because you have a big control wheel in front of you does not mean that you are really 'in control'. 747 - hydraullics and q-feel; hardly wind beneath your wings type stuff is it. Stick pushers, mach trimmers and yaw dampers all mean that the control surface is not necessarlily where the pilot is holding the wheel and they've all been making our lives safer and more comfortable since the 50s.
