There are pilots, pilots and pilots. In a 737 pilot came high and fast in VMC with speed brakes did a 360 stalled and killed everyone. In A320 with Alpha floor TOGA is set and speed brakes go in. That is protection. What's your problem? Air India express crash new 737-800 ATC cleared descent late due approach radar NA. 7000 ft vertical offset.. Expat Pilot didn't do anything to descent faster. Almost same offset through the approach, at 1DME dived 4000ft/mt.despite the pleas of the FO to go round, touchdown deep, reversed and went round sorry went down the hill 150 dead. What automation got to do with this? So stop your cry in wilderness the aviation has changed Boeing included. 737s will take their place in history along with Tigermoth, DC3,707 and 747 classic ( I was a captain on).
