It seems more and more that boeing APFD system logic has now 2 (dangereous) loopholes. The first one being the Asiana !hold! logic (no speed protection in hold mode), and now the unavailability of TOGA after some sort of ground logic kicks in..... Not good Mr Boeing if you ask me, especialy not now that more and more magenta kids are released on the line...Better look over your shoulder how mr Bus fixed that....
The one thing I fail to read in the past 10 pages or so, is that these guys were exhausted from the 12 hour plus duty or so in the middle of the night and the grueling rostering practices. For those on the B777, how many times have you not thought turning finals, hope all goes well here because both at the controls r only half awake.
It will be interesting to see what kind of spin ek will invent this time to avoid fixing the issue of inhumane rostering.
If they choose not to fix, surely we will have another "incident" sooner then later.
