Some very good posts gents and gentettes (??).
So in a couple of posts just mentioned, and assuming this issue is being repeated around the world regularly with multiple carriers, would I be wrong in saying that some of the hardware design on the Bus's are, to put it bluntly, ****? There seems to be an obvious pattern here, a condition that was latent, but is now well known and still rearing its head.
Obviously pilot skills along with good procedures, good training and good CRM provide layers of defences, which have likely been the saviour of other aircraft that have ended up in similar situations, but I can't help but think that when all the holes line up the design of this technologically advanced machine is dare I say, a killer?
