Thanks for the comments, keep them coming!
Speaking of past accidents and "what's it doing" scenarios:
EAL401 (Everglades, FL) was a simple case of all 3 crewmembers forgetting to fly the aircraft while troubleshooting a burned out bulb.
ANZ901 (Erebus) was a loss of SA thanks to the company's navigation department screwing with flight plan coordinates the night before the flight and never telling the crew, essentially luring them down the wrong track in Antarctica, despite the crew having been briefed weeks earlier to fly a different track. Then, sector whiteout contributed to their loss of SA. The aircraft had nothing to do with it.
AAL965 (Cali) was a case of the PF (Captain) entering a fix into the FMC that had the same identifier as numerous fixes and executing it without confirming with the F/O. The aircraft turned towards the closest fix as they were in a descent in mountainous terrain, taking them off the airway and below the peaks.
In all three of these cases, the aircraft was not to blame - and they were all 3 different types (Lockheed, Douglas, Boeing)... ironically enough, neither one Airbus. That said - I'm sure there are several documented incidents of Airbus types confusing the heck out of their pilots, specifically in the earlier years.
