If you have a serious problem you’re gonna know. And being able to silence an alarm removes a distraction. It’s not like you’re gonna be on short final, lose a motor or the AP, and not know it. I agree. All alarms need to be silienced by simply pushing the master caution. Then. If no checklist are taken within 2 minutes, sure, let the alarm come back but only visually.
How hard would it be to hav3 the PFD / MFD flash a red border with ‘emergency’ or something. It’s 2022. We’re flying electric jets now.

You make a historical point being a pilot of which am not, but fully understand ur recommendations of silencing those alarms. It could be a major distraction and lead to disasters.
Should be given serious consideration by aircraft manufacturers globally!

Two chances and they couldn't get the right photo in there...
Does the media ever?
Haha... it's the old "Yeah put some picture of planes... oh and make sure they have the right logo too..... " - I guess it's just a case of what is the focus... is it the aircraft (obviously here it is), or is it the airline... which for the public is more the question. Horses for courses.
I have worked in the broadcast industry all my life, and technology is my main work and interest, but editors and "creatives" see the world differently from us! :)

That was a horrible article from start to finish, including the un-captioned pics. No real information, just a lot of hearsay and speculation.
So I kind of view it as the pilots won, in spite of the engineering. But all the drama hype is hilarious!
