I have two troubling issues. The first is an observation: I wonder who might be behind the leaked information that seems to point the finger at unusual pilot-actions and unresolved maintenance issues.


The second is: I would think during the early test flights of the FBW Airbus there was a big red button somewhere within easy reach that would disconnect the then-prototype computers/controllers and revert back to something akin to direct law.


The questions are, at what point did they get rid of the big red button, was it the right thing to do (probably) and mainly, should it now be reinstated?
