Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Did I even mention "root cause"? No. I did not.
What I did say:
Again, I'm not apologizing for Boeing. This was obviously a piss poor system design. But, and this is a crucial but, the system itself was not responsible for these aircraft incidents.


If I had to identify a "root cause" I would say the obvious, "The root cause of the accident was over reliance upon tech and under reliance upon piloting skills."

New so how do you feel about self driving tractor trailers? :-)

New Then be more clear with what you're saying.
Because that's how that reads when you're talking to people who aren't pilots and don't live the FARs.
