value jet aircraft crashed as a result of fatigue something that could have been avoided but it had no warning systerms if it was an airbus the pilot would have been warned

in terms of safty the CAA FAA and NTSB all rate airbus aircraft as safe or safer than boeing or mc donell douglas
Wouldn' an Airbus be subject to stress fatigue as well as a Boeing jet? So if the pilot was still within the limits, and the jet still gave way, how is the ability of the pilot at fault or the limits that are in place? A Boeing jet still has the same limits an Airbus jet has, but these can be over-rided in an emergency situation - such as impending death if you don't type of scenario!

An example is the SU-27 from Russia - it has these same systems built in with soft limits, but the pilot has the ability to over-ride it as well in the event of impending death or destruction. Same idea. Russians get it, Boeing gets it, but Airbus doesn't?
