Again we have arrived at bashing one manufacturer over the other.
It is impossible to compare A320 losses with early B737 losses. For a start we would have to take into account the improvements in all aspects of commercial aviation that have been introduced over a 40 year period.
It would be more correct to compare the B727 to the A320 as the AB was designed to replace the 3 holer but again, we must look at 40 years of improvements before making any judgements/comparisons.
Once the data has been collected and analysed we will know exactly what happened.
I wonder was a GA initiated when they realised they didn't have enough runway as it may explain flap and t/rev position. Judging by the slat position at the crash site it looks like 1+F.
I am not a pilot but an engineer on both types AB/B, don't want to pi$$ on anyones chips
