The A 320 had its fair share of blame but at the end of the day the pilots are the main reason for airplane accidents, so if a proactive system can prevent pilot`s errors it is certainly in everybodies interest.
On a newer Airbus the AA pilot would have not been able to crash the airplane at Jamaica, NY....
I'm sure it was just a typo, but AA 587 was an A300.
Whiteknuckles, do you prefer 737's over A320's? How about that patio seating offered on the Aloha Airlines 737 15 or 20 years ago?
