Quoting Safety Concerns:-
"The post was clearly directed at Airbus, heavily implying some perceived design flaw."
Can't help recalling my days as Reserve artilleryman, Safety. And a marvellously-humorous lecture that an American officer gave us on the perennial subject of the 'Dual-Purpose Gun' - which could have operated with equal efficiency against both tanks and infantry (if only someone had ever managed to invent one).
I recall him saying at one stage, "Frankly, gentlemen - and ladies - after a long career in weapons development - I can't help but conclude, up to the present time, that the only truly-effective 'dual-purpose gun' ever invented was the one God gave to man......"
Do you believe that the design of the A330 (and the relevant training procedures) are already so perfect that they cannot be improved?
If not, surely you'll agree that it is the duty of both the designers and the trainers to learn as much as they can from this event?
