"ask Sullenberger what he thinks about his 320 that refused to flare the way he wanted to ..."
You're too subtle for me, but maybe that A320 knew what was the best amount of flare.
DC-ATE-Crunch: I also took cars apart and understood what they were made of.
Now I can't even see what's in there... But they're much better cars. And safer.
Imagine steel cables running to the far corners of an A380. Firstly they're so heavy that it wouldn't perform.
Secondly can you honestly say all on board the QF machine would be alive today if Airbus used 1950's design standards?
