Going on a flight tonight?
This just in from an incident which killed 104 innocents -
"He then took control of the aircraft, without warning, via the sidestick priority button and maintained the nose-down input, while the first officer was simultaneously - and in vain - pulling back on his own sidestick."
Check the aircraft type on your boarding pass and remember American Express maintains kiosks at the airport which provide life insurance at competitive rates.
Or just pick a properly designed airplane to travel on.

why why why do we always make it about A VS B.
All airplanes are equal.. some more than the others.Deal with the short comings. learn and train these mistakes.Compensate the short comings by SOPs and technique.
A is here to stay and so is B.

When crew coordination goes completely south there is not one system that will always guarantee a safe outcome.

Yep, used to be horrific in fast jets over the ocean at night. Amazing how these crashes go back to the basics of scanning that were hammered home in the 40s and that even with correctly operating FDs, poorly trained crews manage to screw it up.
