I really don't believe the Delta pilots were in fear of their lives. Where do people come up with this BS? I flew a full career with a major airline and was never in fear of my life. I know flying an Airbus makes you a computer controller but people that I know that fly it trust it and don't fear it. I chose not to fly it because of the computer issue but they seem happy with it. My Boeing just keeps on going no matter what breaks.
