To take over the controls on an Airbus, one must overcome or "fool" the computer in order to get it to respond to inputs outside of the control laws.

That's scary. If I was the pilot I'd make sure air traffic controllers heard alot of expletives coming from me if that was happening.

I'm thinking what would Scotty do?

Scotty: “I say it’s old, Mr. La Forge. It can’t handle the interface of your power converter. This equipment was designed for a different era. Now it’s just a piece of junk. “

Scotty would do nothing. Kirk would argue the computer into self destruction by bombarding it with illogical passion.

P.S. If it was Scotty swearing, you would need to translate it from Scots Gaelic.
