Having said that, Boeing FBW systems are superior to Airbi. But the triple and the 78 should have had a side stick.
Airbus sidesticks do have the priority capability as well as announcing dual input. Most of the supposed control issues can be solved with the simple declaration « my controls » .

FO kept stealing control of the plane from the lance captain, it wasnt systems knowledge that would save them. If the fo in the left seat could get some feeling/warning the guy on the right was deepinging the stall he could have saved them. 35000 ft in the air and homeboy shoots for 15degree nose up because he sorta remembers a recovery techique for a situation they werent in.
at least a connected sidestick and the guy on the left could talk the idiot down from killing everyone.

And two 737 Max’s would not have killed 346 people with an extra AOA probe or two. Or more knowledge of this little thing called MCAS. Or…
I mean, we can come up with all kinds of darts to throw at boards. Accidents happen, and we learn from them. And we have. A lot. This poo-flinging at Airbus or Boeing design philosophy is silly and nonproductive.

LOLWUT… Gross, I make fun of the guys that still use their super hero names. All civilian here boo, All I am saying it is much nicer to have a tray table to eat off of than a logbook. I did about 9000 hours of a yoke in the way. The last 4000 without one have been way better! With 20 years to go I don’t see myself ever getting a Boeing type rating.
