Well yes but isn't it the job of aircraft designers and pilot trainers to look at previous instances of human failure and try to reduce the chances of other people making the same mistake again?
Yes absolutely. But the issue here is being blurred (as always) by unnecessary and irrelevant references to manufacturers and one manufacturer in particular.

It may surprise many of you but it is a fact that most airspeed related accidents have been in Boeings whereas most airspeed related incidents have been in Airbus's. Which would you prefer, an accident or an incident?

I haven't witnessed any great cries for design change on the Boeings.

So remove the emotion, argue facts, tune in with your aircraft and the designers will work with you to improve safety.
