On G limits vs CFIT

Gotta love this quote from an ALPA report on system limitations on pilot authority:

"Although aircraft structural integrity may be compromised by a g load in excess of 3.8 gs,
aircraft structural integrity is more severely compromised by terrain impact."

(The 3.8gs is in regard to a design load limit of the A-320)
