Captain Crunch,

How on earth do you attribute the BA777 dual rollback to the FADECS? The power loss was caused by fuel starvation due to ice in the fuel/oil heat exchangers. Your accuracy with this is as good as your Airbus knowledge.

FWIW (8000 hours, 50/50 Airbus / Boeing split), I much prefer the airbus GPWS pullup manouever. Give me max back stick compared to 20 degrees nose up any day. The Airbus climbs way way quicker. If you are ever in a situation where overloading the airframe in 'G' is the only thing that will save you then you should not be flying any aircraft, let alone a passenger one. If you ever want to see how fast an Airbus can pull up, watch this video.

I think there should be a forum rule, you can only comment on the Airbus once you have passed a type rating on one. Same for Boeings.
