I have heard that before and it is nonsense 'Airbus are designed for 3rd world Pilots'
If First world Pilots cannot understand them, how can those from more 'primitive lands'
It seems like a good fair weather Aircraft, as long as nothing goes wrong.
On the Other hand, in over 20,000 hours of flying around the world in Boeing, and to a lesser extent Douglas products I have never had a moment where I lacked confidence in the Aircraft or were totally confused as to what it was doing.
Boeing simply makes a better product, far more rugged, intuitive and Pilot friendly.
