777's are just fine.

Logged over 1000,000 miles on them this year alone. No problems. . . .now, the delays out of Chicago, that's a different matter.

Gunrunner, what is your opinion on the American Airlines A300 crash. POS airplane? Pilot Error? Both? or bad output from the onboard computer augmented flight control system? It seemed to me the NTSB pointed the finger at the pilot in haste? Particularly given the propensity of this craft to lose its rudder in straight and level flight.

What would be the indicated airspeed that would allow full rudder deflection and still be within design limits and what kind of margin over the design limits would be built into a craft like this?
