There is nothing wrong with Airbus or FBW technology, it does seem to me the interface between this technology is easier to understand and work with on a Boeing than an Airbus. How can anybody forget the early accidents on the A320, the Bangalore one, for example, where the crew were in 'open descent' with 'zero altitude' selected in the window. With an Airport elevation of 1800' they flew a perfectly serviceable aircraft into the ground, simply because they did not understand the mode they were in. I don't hate Airbuses I prefer Boeings.
