Just a little incentive to make a better landing!

The MD88 does have a b!tching Betty voice that says all kinds of things like; Flllaaps, and Overpseed. And the Airbuses will call you a Retard, twice!

The 777 has an AOA indication in the upper right corner of the ADI but it's small and we were never taught to use it properly. The airplane has other low speed warnings before you get into the red on the AOA, right on the airspeed tape and will yell "Stall Stall" at you too. Still, the Asiana guys managed to get way behind the power curve on a clear day in SFO.
