Sounds more like the "handshake behind the barn" days in the early 70's that resulted in a DC-10 door blowout and the loss of a plane load of passengers.
Secret agreements and sweeping issues under the rug in airliner safety results in dead passengers, always a bad idea. If there is something seriously amiss with the "new smarter than the pilot" system, it needs to be disabled at once, very publicly, and fixed permanently as soon as possible. Fixing it on the sly without the NTSB or anyone else knowing about it simply means it will happen to someone else who didn't get in on the behind the barn discussion with the result being a plane flying into the ground out of control. Not acceptable, period. I guess we have a new generation that doesn't remember the mistakes of the past! _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
