5. It seems to me from this OP that the problem is not fly-by-wire per se
but rather the programming of Airbus' systems, which give the final word to the computer on what to do. Hopefully Boeing's newer planes still give pilots maximum control while preserving safeguards.

Interesting article, although the first guy does seem to be a little envious of the attention Sully's getting whereas the second sounds like a more legitimate complaint about the equipment.
