I gave a list of stalls (off top of my head) that were mostly not sidestick and not FBW but all (I think) involved pilots pulling back in reponse to stall warning.

I quote an investigation report of inappropriate response to stall warning that states that pilots were not trained in stall recovery and that this was a "minor safety issue".

I say it'll carry on until it's acknowledged that pilots pulling back in a stall is a major problem, and you come back with "it's a FBW problem".

Meanwhile others post stuff like "None of us in any Boeing would have stalled". [ yeah and the Ethiopian guys were shot down ].

Q.E.D.


You can open your eyes and mind to the real problem, or carry on believing the engineers have screwed up between the stick and the surfaces and there's no problem between the stick and the chair, carry on stalling, carry on pulling back, carry on dying. Gotta keep the accident investigtors in a job...
