I won't name the carrier or the individuals, as I gave them representation during their hearings. I will state that I'm personally familiar with several occurrences involving full aerodynamic stalls of 747-400 and -200 aircraft, that have occurred with US carriers.
The specifics of each case have been addressed and settled, and I am unable to discuss the details.
"Dumb-dumb" was never a term that came up in the investigations, review boards, or subsequent actions taken. Perhaps it's too technical for some of us.
