Yep, we need to get rid of those glass cockpit speedtape deathtraps and return to round dials
What a ridiculous conclusion. As already pointed out, the 727 was the transition from props to jets. Second, all those lessons/skills learnt over decades flying round-dial 727s, 737s, 747s and myriad other round-dial jets carried the industry through the glass age. Now that, at last, those flying skills are being lost, so the crashes are now increasing. Lack of flying skill combined with non-optimal ASI.
OK465, yet another sweeping generalisation. Nobody here is suggesting we return to the three-pointer altimeter. We're talking about airspeed.
