The CAA required a DC-9 stick pusher after the Staines accident

Captain Playstation:

I don't think so. The Trident at Staines had a stick pusher which performed its designed function, as the accident analysis revealed:

Directly the stick-pusher operated all
concentration was directed on the ASI, the attitude
indicator and the startling movement of the control
column. "To someone who was not expecting such an
event the combination of audio-warning and stick-push
would be overwhelming."
The truth is, the 'automatics' do not replace Situational Awareness!
