Well you won't see Boeing demonstrate its 747-8.

Unlike Airbus which can fly its aircraft accurately close to the stall (when pitot tubes are functioning properly), Boeing are scared that competition between test pilots could end up with one of their babies spearing in.

Perhaps then Airbus aircraft are inherently safer.
