You are right, M1! I also read that a captain can't override the FMC on an Airbus (hard protection envelope) but he has the ultimate control on a Boeing (soft protection envelope). I'm not going to say which is better because both systems have their pros and cons. This is more like a philosophical difference between A & B.
