Good point that you raise David. Certainly also true for Lears and the Lockheed Jetstar Model 1329.

This may be slightly off topic but in the Lockheed Jetstar you had the facility to check each of the dual stick shakers and also each of the dual stick pushers individually. Just saying.

Great comment chalet about long haul departures out of Bogota on Rwy 13. The implication being that the B787-9 has a better climb gradient on one engine than the A340-300 is able to manage on three engines. That is unless the Airbus had suffered some kind of double engine failure???

It's at least to some extent an issue with pilot training and the level of pilot experience. I think that to put it into some kind of perspective, in the case of Lion Air in Indonesia, the Captain of the accident aircraft the previous afternoon, flying from Bali across to Jakarta, was able to effectively manage the situation by following procedures. Next morning, same aircraft, same issue, but a different Captain with possibly a lot less experience.
