It appears however once again we are going to lapse into the Boeing/Airbus version of the American game "Ford/Chevy" and not focus on the real issues. Complex systems fail in complex and often unanticipated ways. Offered as sheer sarcasm, maybe we should go back to open cockpits, fixed gear, biplanes with cables to the flt controls so we can avoid all those complexities.
Ah.....but you forget DOUGLAS and LOCKHEED [the Cadillacs].
And.....you'll have to admit that if we never got into these "complex" systems, we would NOT be having these problems.

I gotta go with the -protectthehornet- as well.
