Rainboe - I'm sensing a slight bias here.

the Aibus- how many rudder problems in history? Can't think of many
Well, how about the fatal crash at new york a couple of years back? Whether it was the pilot or the equipment at fault, the problem was most definitely the rudder.

Meanwhile, 737s are flying around with potential hardover problems
The word here being potential.

You say we shouldn't make political or nationalistic points out of incidents, and then proceed to do exactly that!

All aircraft will have faults, nothing and no one is perfect. The important thing is how the manufacturers react to those faults.
