what has this to do with airbus?

have you not been reading the accident reports from analogue aircraft that have stalled in the past?

Exactly the same reaction from crew flying, leading to exactly the same end result.

As much as I respect Aguadalte, his comments about going back to the stone age apply here. We have been there done it, seen the film, read the book.

Aircraft with tactile feedback, stick shakers and all the rest have stalled and crashed in the past just like AF447. The only difference between then and now is that safety has never been better.

The way forward and away from this caveman approach is not to go back to the stone age and install tactile feedback and stick shakers. The way forward is to improve on the technology (with sensible pilot input void of emotion) and increase training where necessary.
