If it was that easy it would have been done by now since Perpignan in 2008.
Just because some people and many of them are non airbus pilots who are not comfortable with the idea of hard protections you introduce a Kill protection switch which will bring in the human element with human error.
Just train you guys with a proper procedure not a Mickey Mouse one.
If a few aeroplanes are lost because of the operation of that killer switch at the wrong time then what? This cure may prove deadlier than the disease.

As far as I know the unprotected 737 don't fall at a greater rate that the protected 320 then why ?
In the interim period a method is given to override them.
Nothing is interim, the procedure is here to stay forever.
As a manufacturer you have the responsibility to make it simple, not to go and play with unguarded switches on the overhead panel in the middle of a loss of control.
I do not agree you need to go in direct law at the drop of a hat.
No you need to inhibit protections going mad at the drop of that hat.
Don't bring in AF447 the only switch it needed was to switch the pilots with competent once.
It tells all how you see yourself ...
