Nice try on blaming Boeing, MSM science dork.

The bottom line is those pilots were essentially electronic game players and didn’t know what piloting a real airplane (e.g., using manual controls) was like.

They shouldn’t have been in control of a Cessna 150 (which they undoubtedly would have crashed even sooner than the airliner).

And - that automated little paradigm did in that Airbus flying in a t-storm over the Atlantic. Pilots really didn’t understand when the computer was flying or when they were flying. They also didn’t fully understand what “stall” meant.

That's why Boeing gives the ultimate control of the airplane back to the pilot no matter how much fly by wire there is in the plane and computers.
It's one for these pilots to blame Boeing for this is a totally another to prove it in court if it goes that far with evidence.
In the Asian culture they always have to find a scapegoat for they have to " save face " to protect their image and don't want to be shamed in public.
It's a pride thingy you look at it, this phony humbleness that Asians show is all BS.
You cross them ? they are as nasty as the next guy, and the women are worse.

If I remember correctly the “stall” horn went off some 70 times before the plane slammed into the ocean with wide open thottles and zero forward speed. One of the pilots was pulling back on the yoke during almost the entire trip down.
