clunckdriver is a rabid airbus hater who no doubt was an early airbus pilot but who seem to have gone in hibernation since then and after suddenly coming back to life started voicing same prejudices while the rest of the world has moved on. Likes and dislikes are part of human psyche but it should not be completely divorced from reality. The airbus FBW order book as on 31/01/2017 stands at 16268 aircraft. There are hundreds of airlines that operate them and thousands of pilots like them. No one pilot or an airline can claim to be smarter than everybody else. Boeing also has moved on to FBW and they were not at all keen to extend the only non FBW 737 but for South west their biggest customer demanding an immediate equivalent to A320 Neo or else threatening to buy the Neo. Airbus FBW is different but it is here to stay and thriving not just surviving. Outside the US A320 Neo is outselling 737 by a margin. As you may have noticed some PPL/CPL or non airbus pilots use such posts to have pot shots at airbus. Other than that they are a waste of time.
