Not at FL350 he didn't. which maybe means bubbers wins on a technicality.

The point, however, remains that LOC accidents, and specifically mishandled stalls, are happening across range of types/mfrs/airlines.

If it was just 'buses falling out of the sky I'd be clamouring for investigation of the bus specific sidestick and fbw etc. - but that isn't what is happening.

If the effort were focused on the bus stuff only, then we could only ever fix part of the problem and risk fixing nothing if in fact the causes are elsewhere and common across types. Far better to try and identify common causes, surely ?
