Default Interesting show on Discovery today

I was watching an episode of Mayday on discovery today about an Aeroflot
Airbus A310 that crashed in 1994,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_593

Anyway without getting into a long post I posted a link to the disaster and
subsequent investigation into the reasons for the crash.

Now I was wondering if the airline manufactures and the airlines have now
added an audible warning when all or part of the autopilot is disengaged.
Seems if there was such a warning then this crash may never have happened

Just wondering if anyone else has any opinions about this?
