Maybe all of us don't want to experience the bad results others have experienced first hand. My friend had an out of control A300 trying to land at MIA with uncommanded rudder movements. He knew they were going to crash but not exactly sure where. Then the AA587 crash in New York in 01 that got blamed on the FO using too agressive rudder movements for some strange reason. Airbus probably had a lot of input in that investigation. Recently the A380 and A321 with the massive electrical faults. No, I elected for the smaller paycheck to fly an airplane I trusted. If you trust the Airbus, go for it. I chose not to. I never felt like an idiot for what I did with no personal experience. I learned from other people's experiences rather than verifying it for myself.
