Digging up Cali is a sign of desperation, the causes of Cali are well understood and had zilch to do with anything discussed here.
Maybe we should be discussing Nagoya... or all the other mode confusions/envelope protection incidents/accidents.. of which there are damned plenty... and none of 'em Boeing.
This discussion mentioned automation and protections of which the airbus has lots and the most modern Boeing has very little. Still trying to figure out why an aircraft would be designed so that you could fly with max thrust and the speedbrake out. Boeing designed it like that why exactly?
I don't think any air transport aircraft over 50Tons irrespective of who designed it could have been in that training flt energy regime and recovered within the height available.
