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?


I *highly* recommend reading the book "Airframe." It is a novel and it is
fiction, but it is remarkably well researched fiction about a large airplane
manufacturer and an accident investigation. One of Michael Crighton's best
works in my opinion.
