AGBagb post # 423

I can understand French, for those that cannot I guess we can translate the situation they found themselves in as "a crock of sh1t"

Being faced with a shedload of failure messages seems to be de rigeur in most Airbus whoopsies (Qantas A380 had a fairly lengthy novel to be perused if I remember)
Strikes me that when Airbus envisaged (or did they even bother? ) these scenarios, insufficient emphasis was given to just how much information the human part of the jigsaw can process and react to in a given (very short & critical) time period.

I know just what you mean, I guess it is a bit different if your oppo is pretty much as experienced as you,undoubtedly in ops like this the authority/experience gradient is much less steep than we experience in a short haul loco, but. . . . not so much the feeling I believe I would do better, just that disquieting sensation of being merely a passenger if I am in my bunk & it is all going to a can of worms up front.
