Altflaps,
Ask your companies engineers about the build quality difference between A & B. The reason the a320 hard landing limit is so high is that they're solid bits of kit. If it had been a 737 or 757 that touched down at 3.5G we'd have been picking bits up off the runway.
Don't let your (unjustified) prejudices about flying airbusses lead on to the structure too.

ps. That Icelandair incident (so nearly a hull loss) couldn't have happened on an airbus (time to feed the trolls.....)
