The training regime you have suggested your children will go through sounds excellent and it is that kind of training route that needs to be encouraged.

Agreed the Airbus side-stick was also a major factor in the Air-france incident. But I do still feel that had the two pilots involved had an instructional background (where they would have been teaching stalling frequently) the out-come would have been different. I know it is easy to sit here on the ground and criticise an incident and one can never tell how I would have reacted personally in that situation, but ever more systems reliability and procedures seem to potentially compensate for lack of basics.

Glad to hear procedure have been changed, but surely unreliable airspeed is back to basics, set power, set attitude.

Push button, it was not my intention to argue with you or discredit A320B; but I don't feel that any more 200 hours straight to Airbus is a something that the industry needs.
