A wish state not a wish list - the terms differ in their meaning and useage.

Some are advocating that the side stick was a factor in the accident because it was unobservable for example. But there are examples of where an accident has happened despite the yoke position being visible. We have to be careful in advocating a solution as a pancea to an issue.

'When all else fails, it is the people flying whose job it is to prevent accidents. Sometimes they fail too.'

Exactly this is what I have been saying all along.
