Safety Concerns,
No disrespect,but your callsign is very ironic if you dont mind me saying.

Aircraft with tactile feedback, stick shakers and all the rest have stalled and crashed in the past just like AF447
Not an indictment of the aircraft,but of the pilot or training.It adds nothing to your argument.

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
Disagree.Strongly.Not for Airbus,no.They cant go back now,I agree.They must stick to their guns.But for other manufacturers,the way forward is not to copy Airbus.The only thing Airbus have actually done is invent a new way of crashing by totally disconnecting man from machine through its complex and not very user-friendly interface(visual feedback alone-myriad of changing laws during abnormals-autotrim that suddenly cuts out-SS with no feedback-no feedback TL's-stall warning that cuts out etc etc).

KISS.Old is good.Old is tried and tested.Train the pilots better.Thats the way forward.These are my safety concerns,old chap.
