    AF447 was pilot error and not cheapening out knowingly on the construction to save money.

    The whole Boeing 737 is completely outdated and wouldn’t get approved today. Like they would have needed a new pilot warning system for years, but are just rolling by with exemptions after exemption

      AF447 is sometimes blamed on lack of coupled sidesticks amongst other possible deficiencies in aircraft design. Pilot error doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

      Certainly not the same situation as the 737, though.
