[Airbus software can't be overridden by pilots]
I'm going by what Airbus says about their own aircraft.

And the quote is where in Airbus literature? Point me to it. It's the
fifth or so time I ask you to back a statement up with facts. Come on,
surprise me.

Woof. You both make statements but neither of you give evidence to
support your comments.

You're both right and you're both wrong. In most cases the pilot
cannot override the Airbus software. For example, a pilot is _not_
allowed to roll the aircraft, nor exceed certain AOAs (up or down).
In some cases however the pilot can hold the stick or hold down a
disconnect button and request the computers to give up some of their
authority (but never all).

See my other posting in this thread for links that you're both
obviously too lazy to find on your own. (Come on people, do a little
research before spouting off ;-)
