| I've got a full-time job http://damplips.in.net/ damlips.com This reminds me of the Air France Airbus crash out of Brazil. Because the elevator/aeleron control on an Airbus is no longer a big interconnected ‘yoke’ right in front of both pilots, but are two little NOT-interconnected side handles, the pilot not flying the plane failed to notice that the pilot flying the plane had the handle right back, nose-up position, even when the plane HAD stalled, due to incompetence/fear/panic/ etc. With a yoke, the non flying pilot would either have shoved the yolk forward immediately the stall warning sounded, and taken command, or told the other pilot to do so. Innovation not always a good thing, eh?
