Why not just get rid of the system? Or just take it offline physically?

It’s supposed to be an extra add-on feature. From what I gather from crew is they don’t want to fly it or be on it. I wouldn’t.

You can't, the plane cannot fly without it, due to the larger LEAP engines which changes the balance. They just need to ensure such a critical system has more than a single point of failure and then this new issue, it will be fixed in time. However the real fix required is in the process that allowed them to get here in the first place.

It does have an “off” switch, and from reports the more experienced pilots were able to turn it off and regain control.

Have you heard about the recall on Ford’s electronic automatic transmission? It downshifts all the way to low in one step whereupon the truck may be uncontrollable. The software fix resulted in even worse behavior and Ferd went back to the original programming.

Solid state works until it fails, computer programs work until some unexpected condition causes them to do something odd.

I can hardly wait for autonomous cars and trucks to hit the highways in big numbers.
