Avoid cb's

I’d like to throw in my 2 cents of input.

We have a triply redundant system of pitot tubes which all failed at the same time. Of course using the very same systems.

Which provide info to the incredibly sophisticated computers which all seemed to fail at the very same time.

Giving the pilots nothing to see on the outside and nothing reliable to see in the inside of the cockpit,

And all of the systems that were designed to prevent stall, high angle of attack, and every other kind of protection failing to do so,

And giving the pilots no guidance whatsoever what to do about any of it,

And after months analyzing what went wrong unable to come up with any solution whatsoever on what the pilots or the auto protection were supposed to do or what they did do,

I would say that had the pilots avoided this thunderstorm in the first place we would not be talking about this.

After 32 episodes of triple redundant system failure – I would say we have here a very very fragile and weak system.

The solution to me is simple, until this is all figured out I’d suggest avoiding thunderstorms.
