Then you would be stuck. It is simply not a good system, and would not pass modern certification.

This seems very strange. Would be good if someone had a maintenance manual that could confirm this is indeed how it works.
Silverstate,
If the elevators are jammed and pilots cant overpower them to clear the jam, wouldnt the stabilizer trim sufficient to fly the aircraft?
I am not sure i understand your reasoning.
NB, for the old armshair SLFs in here,it is a question to make a point,not that i dont know...before you start shivering,crying,once again,oh my god pilots dont know how to fly their aircraft
