Pilots should always have ability to override a system to take manual control of a plane. Always.
The FAA probably receives free flights from Boeing. Soooo, do you think they have a vested interest in certifying the plane without proper testing, etc ??? In the U.S. money Trumps peoples lives !!! Don't doubt it for a moment !!!
The bravest pilots I have heard of. They fought for their lives until the end. May they rest in heavenly peace.
Captain Yared and Co-pilot Ahmed Mohammed Nur were/are our heroes!! They did everything they can to save the lives of those on the malfunctioning and ill-designed plane.May the souls of all the victims rest in heaven. We love you Captain Yared and Co-Pilot Ahmed M.N. You will always be remembered as our heroes!
