Secondo me:

Boeing = aircraft with computers,
A320 = computer with wings.

Artificial intelligence doesn't exist and Airbus proved it right. I think that A320 is still full of traps for the unwary. After almost 5 years on the A320 Fam, I have realised I have become a computer operator. Piloting is a skill: A320 makes pilot lose it: no feedback on the controls, no need to trim, ECAM full of yes but nos etc, etc...(IFR on A320 didn't count for other types, remember). It's a type to retire from, feels like sex with a frigid woman. I now happily use TLs and trim and enjoy the feedback my baby gives me. The only thing I would miss is the tavolino.
