The difference between the two is that the Airbus camp see what they fly as a design that gets the aircraft from a to b using a design that the Airbus consortium put together. It is the Airbus take on airliner design. The Boeing camp remind me of a bunch of Religious zealots fighting science with the bible. There is apparently no other way of designing an airliner to get from a to b other than what Boeing do, they would lead you to believe. And every time you mention any other version or airliner design that isn't Boeing it's like saying you had problems with the 50000 animals all fitting on a wooden boat..........
That there could be such a religious following for a company who hasn't made anything in airliner design that was evolutionary is remarkable. Prior to 777, I can't think of a manufacturer in any field who has managed to flog an outdated product for as long as Boeing has done with some of it's designs.
Lockheed and Douglas come back, please
