There is no substitute for a Boeing.
Lots of good stuff about a Boeing and lots of good stuff about the FBW 'bus. But in a windshear, gimme the 'bus where I just yank back and get MAX AOA. I don't hunt for it. I don't try to ride the buffet near the stall. Just MAX AOA (as in their ain't nothing left).
Just wondering.. did you repeat the conditions in a 'bus or 'bus simulator or is your comment about it would have been a crash in the 'bus speculation?
