I am sorry but the title of this thread is downright offensive. Having flown boings, airbus' and bombardier's there is absolutely no basis for suggesting that Airbus' are any more/less safe than the others. I for one feel a little hesitation about flying in a 737 due to the as yet unexplained rash of rudder hard overs, I flew on a 777 last month and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive about unexplained double engine failures. Let's also wait for the report into this crash, the likelyhood that it was a mechanical failure is slim at best, more than likely some human factor contribution.
