No, that’s definitely West.

It’s a good impression but it doesn’t sound exactly like him to me.
Here’s a source:
Filling in for West on the PSA was Dick Gautier, best known for playing Hymie the robot on Get Smart and for having authoring numerous books on cartooning. Gautier recalls that doing the spot was a favor of sorts. He tells us, “They called me in, hoping I’d fit into the Batman costume. I could and did and then I imitated Adam’s peculiar cadence of delivery and they bought it. Let me rephrase that, as I said, there was no money.” Over the years, many viewers have recalled that it was West in the costume, a credit to Gautier’s performance. Craig noted that the actor “started his career as an impersonator and was brilliant at it.”

Holy identity theft!!!
Really? I don’t know. I see a lot of Dick Gautier on Buzzr, and it t doesn’t look or sound like him to me. But I suppose it’s him.
Interesting article.

Everything in that thread tracks with what I’ve read in discussions about the 737 crashes. And explained very well and concisely, too.

What people are saying is, “It wasn’t the software that caused it.”
Boeing was relying, however, on the software to be the magical fix for their change manglement. And by manglement I mean they went out of the envelope of standards for stability of the airplane, knowing it just needed a little help from the… well, the autopilot is already wired into things. Let’s just upgrade it and use that.
And what do ya do with a plugged up pitot? There’s no threat of scuppers. Well, in the manual here there’s the buried instructions for turning it off. Sorry, disabling the feature. What happens if the mushy confusion of climbout-thrust&angle-of-attack thingy happens simultaneous to the system doing a bad job of panicking the half-trained furrign pilots of the airline run as a vanity project for some billionaire? What if, between the panic and the up-and-down and the desire to maintain climb to get more room (height) the aerodynamic bad thing happens?
Maybe this stick pusher feature should be part of the stick pusher system rather than, “We’ll just add it to the trim stuff in the autopilot. It’ll be fine,” maybe that will get people to ignore the Silicon Valley Blame Deflection that comes after the always slightly mythical Silicon Valley Apology.
