Hats off to the crew for flying the airplane all the way to a safe landing.

Correct me if I am wrong...
A. 7X & the soon to be released G650 are designed as FBW w/ the computers interpreting the pilots input and making inputs to the flight control surfaces and no manual reversion of the flight controls. In a similar vein the AB380 and the B787 are also fully FBW w/out manual reversion.

B. The engineers/statisticians, during the certification process, claim these aircraft 'should' have a 1 in 1x10 to the ninth or so anomaly w/ this grave of a circumstance.

C. The 7x will not have another runaway trim incident in the it's lifetime of use.

Logic dictates that since both A and B are true then C must be true.

Call me old fashioned...but I still want some sort of manual reversion should the computers decide to pull a MS blue screen of death while inflight.
