No one is saying Boeing vs AirBus. Or pilot qualifications.
Merely that one key element missing from all of the conversations is, that the fact that thunderstorms are not considered a potential key problem seems to me quite cavalier and attempts to minimize the risk involved are never discussed.
Is anyone saying: "Disregard the potential hazard of violent weather!"
Which raises the question: Does AB seem to feel that AirBus is "Failsafe"?
Is there a culture there which insists on "Staying the Course"?
That to me is the central problem.
