What did you tell the relatives- that you have written a book challengiing the conclusions of the official Inquiry because all multi- crewed aircraft have a built in suicide inhibitor?
My original question was directed at pro pilots and engineers who have kindly replied without silly emoticons

A 2nd well trained and effective pilot will inhibit the other one from killing him/her.
As a pro pilot, i will not allow my opposite number to kill me. I rely on my professional colleagues to return the favour.
Your question has already been answered. The fact that you do not like, or cannot understand the answer, won't change that.
Any "system" that prevents a pilot from carrying out an action that they consider required, even if it is "non standard" is dangerous.
As an example. Aircraft A is lined up for departure (flapless). Aircraft B, on approach, has an emergency and cannot go around. Pilot A advances the power in order to vacate the runway for aircraft B. Aircraft A's "pilot suicide prevention system" puts on the brakes preventing aircraft A from leaving the runway.
The ensuing carnage provides subject for your favourite TV crash series.

Au contraire, I understood and was satsfied with the reply from SSR ( 38 year career pilot) and indeed with the Air law poster from Hamburg.
No pilot can guarantee that his colleague will not blagg him and commit suicide but this was NEVER the substantive issue of my post.
Try re-reading my reply to WTS

note also the recent Jet Blue incident and only for the f/O locking the cock pit door and the pilot out- could have gone either way and who knows.

Capt PP,
Be assured that I frequent these pages, I hope with some humility, to learn from Pros about a subject that has always fascinated me not to pick fights so no hard feeling from me.
Keep well and fly safe- best wishes
