What
had been under discussion was Airbus flight-control logic in this particular case, AF447, and the possibility of improvements to the software logic. (Admittedly very difficult to suss, given the lack of specific information about exactly what the pilots saw and responded to.) As you yourself admitted, there is
always room for improvement in almost any system you could think of, and here, we were
not talking about improving Boeing's flight-control logic.
Your comments have devolved this into a discussion of A vs. B, in general. Not helpful at all, though always fascinating and tempting to get into. Perhaps this should have been a new thread: "Ten thousand views on A vs. B."
The very unfortunate accident at Schipol really has very little to do with what happened to AF447.
'Tis true that there was, very obviously, a training/knowledge problem on the flight deck (AF447), but that does not mean that there was no problem whatsoever with the A330's logic. I'm upset by arguments such as yours (and Dozy's) because they would remove any possibility of safety improvements, which have to be a good thing. "It's good enough, in fact, it is wonderful," you seem to say. Scary stuff.
