Gretchenfrage: maybe you could suggest something that doesn't involve grounding one of the worlds' most popular aircraft?
Just because it would mean grounding an aircraft you keep an unsafe design afloat? What kind of aviator are you?


Let's not pretend other manufacturers have a perfect record
No, but some had their unsafe design grounded, albeit it was not an infallible AB .....

Fix it, and don't simply shove it down to the crew with a simple piece of paper.
Ever seen the safety video of the "Startling effect"? That demonstrates in a blatantly clear way how reduced pilots are during the first few seconds of a startling incident. A procedure involving switching or pushing selective buttons on a overhead panel is obviously inept for such startled moments, a button on the stick/yoke however is.

But again, it's groundhog day. How many times did we engage in these seemingly futile arguments and how many times did the AB logic prove the sceptics right, and finally how many times did nothing happen.

Bill Murray would have a field day ....
