'As one Boeing Seattle 787 test pilot told a Boeing 787 simulator instructor "We designed the 787 around the basis it will be flown by incompetent pilots." What an indictment on the quality of some airline crews flying jet transports. '



Sounds like complete nonsense to me, another made up story.



In fact Boeing has taken the opposite tack from AB who have tried
desperately to 'Pilot Proof' their aircraft by taking them out of the loop
as much as possible.



Boeing recognizes that Pilots should always have the final say as far as
control of the aircraft is concerned and you can't do that with hard limits.
