"Further, and sadly, Airbus has assured us it is almost impossible to "lose control" of that jet. That assertion seems to permeate the crew training and design corrective actions by Airbus following certain incidents.
I'll let that aspect of my observations recede and prolly not raise it again for a long time."
Allow me. A casual view of the history of the Airbus leaves a few undigested morsels. Question the electrics, and the software side gets indignant. Some flyers get indignant that the a/c seems "arrogant" (sic).
An airplane cannot be arrogant, and software cannot be defended when it is garbage.
After all this time, if there is a remotely valid question raised (There are), something is wrong with the approach.
The honeymoon was over long ago, and this airplane has worn long pants for years. To be able to get away with calling it a "work in progress" at this point is beyond absurd.
Training? Confidence? User friendly? Who gives a crap, Fix it.
