Sure know now why many companies' travel departments avoid travel on AirBus aircraft if at all possible.
To be fair, the Boeing Company has not been all that straightforward with regard to the rudder hardover incidents, which date all the way back to the 707.
And Douglas....well the DC10 after inital problems has turned out ok, only now to be retired by many airlines (except as freighters). The MD-11 seems to turn turtle on landing from time to time,.....so that leaves....the Lockheed L1011 as the best?
To those that have flown this wonderful aircraft, nothing is better.
