“They should have been flying to plane instead of dorking around with computer reboots.”

Except with the Airbus the computer is what flies the plane. There is no direct controls to engine/control surfaces interaction. If that flight computer fails then so does the ability to control the aircraft.

If you could see the booger eating morons that develop flight computers you would never get on an airplane.

This is a gross over simplification.

I engineered avionics for 8 years. I still fly on planes.
