Did'nt a MAS 777 have a similar incident to the recent QF330 over WA ?

Most if not all Airbus ( FBW ) accidents have been finger/operator trouble including the 1st one that mashed into the forrest.
Airbus golden rule number 1 : If in doubt disconnect the autopilot and autothrust, it will fly like a normal aeroplane ( inc moving thrust levers for the paranoid ones out there ), it just won't let you stall or get slow or over bank or over pitch.

Having flown the NG and the Airbus I can say one thing, Boeing have a damn cheek calling that thing an " NG ", there aint much new about it
