I would say instead it is you and the others that have some perverse Hard on for Sten Molin and Ed States. But you can't pin it on ONE crew when the same problem has been run into by other crews.

Furthermore because American has very rigid standardization they perform uniformly across their fleets in their operations of aircraft, yet this problem has ONLY manifest itself in one extremely small subfleet.

So this particular problem is specific to the A300600R in the cofiguration ordered by American, which is a unique and specific type not EXACTLY ordered by any other airline. It was however manufactered by Airbus. It is the manufacturers responsibility to release a safe product complete with accurate training.

I do not disagree that more people have died in boeing aircraft. But FAR more boeing aircraft are flying around the world than Airbus so that is not nearly a fair comparison. While I have provided an Apples to Apples comparison.
