Blancolirio checks in with an update. There are disadvantages to having the angle of attack indicator. It takes experience to learn to fly using one and new and lesser hours pilots like the ones in Thailand, Indonesia and other Asian Pacific countries, Africa and South America would be less safe using one than not using one.
It will be interesting to see what Boeing comes up with. The bottom line is that if you're willing to kill yourself and your passengers with a perfectly good aircraft, no safety system that will ever exist can save you. Perhaps the thing to do for those outlying countries would be to require a pilot in the jump seat.
