1. Wow

2. is there any good or acceptable reason why nothing was done about this ?

3. Pilots were not even trained how to handle the flaw in the autopilot

overcorrection.

5. I heard that they were "trained" on how to manually disable the

"automatic" setting. I think that I also read that the training was written instructions given to all the pilots who fly the plane but when the plane starts to roller coaster up and down really fast that it is not easy to remember these sorts of things as they are actually happening in real time. I can imagine the million thoughts and feelings the pilots must have experienced. A manual correction is not the solution for a problem this severe.

6. It sure is hell isn't

and how easy is it to disconnect it and does it reset back? And the plane is a different plane: wings changed, engines and locations. It needed testing and certification and not be grandfathered in!

4. Devastating.

7. Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch...

Too bad the FAA was out of commission for a month when they could have been disseminating this information.

8. This story won't be going away for a while. nt

9. Seemingly there should be multiple checks before false emergency is triggered

And a quick simple method to disable a false emergency

10. And enough knowledge that the plane is prone to faulty sensors and then overcorrection that

a plane that demonstrates it is not flown the next day.
