Have fun using any product. If your company gets big enough the probability that one of its products was faulty because of negligence slowly approaches 100%.

Any big company has a scandal, learns from it, the people that learned the lesson leave at some point, a new generation of employees makes a similar mistake again, wash rinse, repeat.

You probably can't fly any airplanes if you will not use any airplanes from a company that had a scandal like this.

AFAIK the automation had no good reason to be there first place, unless you consider racing Airbus for contracts a good reason. I mean, the simpler the better especially when lives are at stake, right?
