Great video! You make all the highly technical aspects of these flights so easy to understand. It's true that a close call incident can have as big an impact on safety changes as a fatal accident. Why was the plane's prone-to-disconnecting auto-throttle issue not fixed earlier? Disconnecting by itself in 1-in-200 flights doesn't seem acceptable.
Thanks for a great episode! You really got the technical side of this over very clearly - it does make me wonder whether the 737's fore and after stability is all it should be, even in those earlier models.
