You don't want to fly in most Airbus airframes then.

If the fly-by-wire were to give full control to the pilot, they'd literally be unable to control the aircraft - something like modern fighter jets.

It's why pilots prefer Boeing.

For better or worse, all manufacturers have done unnatural things to their aircraft flight characteristics in recent years to achieve improved fuel efficiency - and that directly sets the price of the passenger air ticket.

I want to be in an airliner that refuses to turn over control to a jihadist or suicidal pilot or even just a hijacking pilot unless the hijacking one is helping me escape to freedom.

I'd like the aircraft to refuse to hit the ground or another aircraft or run out of fuel.
