So ... are Airbus claiming to have developed 'passenger jets' that would be able to deal with what an American crew did when they had multiple bird-strikes over New York and what a Russian crew did when they had similar recently near Moscow? Both on Airbuses.

Our kids -- ... ". Could anyone with a kid learning to fly, or wanting to learn to fly, please, please, please keep them off their 'flight sims' on their computers for about 6 months, or more, before taking real flying lessons? Trying to teach them that there is a big, wide world that can be seen through the windscreen that is immensely more useful than that tiny little A/H that they have become blinkered to due to their 'flight sims' is a huge task! I am sure that kids 50 years ago learnt the basics of flying much quicker than modern kids for that very reason.
