Snoop A320 solid? ha

Ask your companies engineers about the build quality difference between A & B. The reason the a320 hard landing limit is so high is that they're solid bits of kit. If it had been a 737 or 757 that touched down at 3.5G we'd have been picking bits up off the runway.

Don't let your (unjustified) prejudices about flying airbusses lead on to the structure too.

A bit out of theme...I had a tolk with some engineers about the A320 vs B-planes.

The question was, if it is normal on A-planes to have a fuel leak so often? (light leak is acceptable for 600 hours!!! if you do everyday inspections)
I used to fly B737-300-800 and have never seen it!?

Why's it so often on A-planes? Any ideas?

Maybe the build quality difference between A & B...
