It is a myth that Airbus are computer centric and Boeings are pilot centric. The fact is, the Boeing B787 is currently the most high tech airliner flying. Fly by wire. And no, a pilot on an Airbus CAN MOST CERTAINLY override the design limits imposed by the computers (Boeings have flight computers as well). Airbus makes NORMAL operation to remain within limits, but override is possible, and we train pilots to know how.
As for ergonomics causing AF447, that is ridiculous. It was caused by a barometric system failure not a computer failure. It was caused by almost the same set of events that caused a North Eastern B727 to crash 40 years ago.
Your basic premise is outdated, and easily proven to be false. Modern US fighters follow the same “ergonomic” patterns you mistakenly think are Airbus’ idea. If the “pilot centric” myth you think exists at Boeing, why is the configuration and operation of the B787 essentially the same as an Airbus A350XWB from a pilot’s perspective? Why did Boeing abandon all those “great ideas” they had in cockpit design found in the B676?

Initially, but all three sets of instruments had good airspeed indications after one minute. From that time until the crash, the problem was extremely bad piloting skills and resource management.
