Witness Boeing and the Max fiasco where they tried to save money - a fiasco that killed 300 people.

the difference is that it seems airbus has not cut corners with boat anchor systems like Boeing. Boeing added a control system with only 2 AOA. Airbus added more redundant multi sensor systems to improve safety. Cost a shedload no doubt.

apples for apples the 2 manufacturers do things very differently. No problems with the fear of pulling circuit breakers in a Boeing. The FCOM doesn’t really allow it unless your in a dire circumstance.

Give you a free lunch if you can find a cb on the 350 overhead. There are authorised computer resets in the fcom, different philosophy to Boeing.
