Have you ever flown an Airbus ?
Yes

This is not the plane, but a failure of the pilot.
No, both! But that's MY opinion......

Now I have to fly a MD11.. and let me tell you what the statistics are with hard landings.
Great Cockpit the MD11, ain't it? And, i see, you're telling us already .....

The MD11 out beats the Airbus 340/330 by far more then 100 to 1 !!
Okey doke. Where is that statistic? If it's yours, then good enough.
It takes a pilot to land the MD11, agreed. But 100 to 1!! Ridiculous, - or you should quit aviation for good. I've flown both and my personal statistic is 0 to 0 (yeahhhhh, i'm proud of it). But i felt more in control in the MD11.
