My point was that a FBW aircraft that did not have limiting software,
is wrong. I now see that the plane in question was not FBW.
"Nevermind! "g

Yeah, me too. I assumed all Airbus aircraft employed FBW. Mea
culpa.

But to start another flame war, maybe AA has a culture problem
of ignoring manufacturers' advice. Remember that it was an AA
DC-10 that lost an engine at ORD, and AA's maintenance practice
of removing engines with a forklift was the culprit, contrary to
McDonnell Douglas' advice.
