How hard is the redesign to tactically couple the side sticks? That *has* to be done. The entire DC-10 fleet was grounded after AA191. In my opinion the decoupled controls are a fundamental design flaw as dangerous as bunched hydraulic systems, and more likely to make itself felt in an emergency when both pilots are pumped and fighting for their very human lives.
