Were the DAL/NW 320/330's also modified to automatically provide that alert ?
Thanks in advance.....

Seriously though, unless you taking off or landing in a crosswind, the airbus is pretty much a feet-on-the floor airplane. It was very rare to need rudder, and that was usually only to correct an out of trim situation.
*Disclaimer - If you're reading this and thinking of bidding either Airbus in Atlanta, disregard. The rudder/tail of the airplane is scary and as FedElta points out, at .15G it will abrupty snap off [*editorial liberty taken when quoting FedElta
