"What is it with you anti-airbus brigade? This sounds like the loss of one or a number of electrical busses resulting in the loss of a number of systems. It could just have easily been a boeing, and the results would have been very similar."
Except that apparently it
wasn't a Boeing...another AB escapade.
Rest assured there will be a Boeing soon that will lose the list of helpful aids listed in the thread opener......but probably there will be about a dozen
AB occurances in the meantime
