I cannot endorse more heartily Boeings Philosophy.
The Pilot should be in full control of the Aircraft, without restriction at all times.
How can you argue with that. The B777 has a switch that disables all 'protective' flight control laws. Boeing protected their philosophy.
I think that many of the Airbus protections are excellent. But you should be able to turn it all off.
And how is non back driven autothrottles and non connected control sticks an advance ?
