I thought the Captain was in charge of making sure the
aircraft was operated safely. Why the hell didn't he intervene
and stop the excessive movement? He just sat there
and watched knowing that it was the wrong action to
take? Sure points the finger at Airbus and AA's training program.

Perhaps, but it also reflects the prevailing but erroneous impression
among airline pilots that you can't break the airplane with control
inputs below maneuvering speed. This was not limited to Airbus
products.


Which then begs the question why were airline pilots erroneously
under that impression ?

It was a bizarre notion anyway. Fly your airliner below maneuvering
speed. Apply full right aileron, and wait.

I guarantee you'll have a broken plane.


Wot a ******.
