“The pilots, who had previously flown Russian-designed planes that had audible warning signals, apparently failed to notice it.”
Unlike Russian planes, apparently designed for dummies, the Airbus designers assumed that the pilots would be adequately trained. And sober. Which is not an unreasonable assumption.
Safety systems must be foolproof. (I am now in the airport and is going to board a Russian plane which will fly almost the same rout as the one which had a catastrophic fire a few day ago.)
