Has anybody yet satisfactorily explained how a disconnect between PF and the controls be deemed not to compromise flight safety? At any time but especially on landing?

If that's the case, why do we do the 'I have control', 'you have control' rigmarole?

Bird strike, go arounds, gusts etc could have been disastrous, yet the company and CAA presumably reckon safety wasn't compromised? Err how?

We have a huge credibility problem surely?

I got a response from Flybe when Neil McDonald thought I was a journo, but nothing since I honestly responded it was a 'private' inquiry.

Just to make it perfectly clear, my 'problem' is not so much it happened (which is bad enough) but that the Company's statement said that safety wasn't compromised.
