Right hand and Left Hand at Justice.....saw it way too many times over the years.
Oh yes and a few years back Airbus had a computer problem with there AC and killed just as many took several years to figure out. But they didnt get the same treatment that Boeing did and during that time kept flying the same type with the same puter problems.
