As is the norm these days on PPRuNe the "usual suspects" have hijacked a thread to spout their hate of Airbus.
It's not so much "hate of Airbus" as it is the dislike of all this "advanced" technology that is supposed to be making flying more safe. There doesn't seem to be much validity in that. There are just as many "incidents" [maybe more] now as in the past. At least we had control of our airplanes even when all systems failed "back then".
EDIT: P.S. This applies to the new Boeing products as well.
