SLF here and a lifelong well-read enthusiast/spotter. Simmed when I was younger and read all I could find - from performance/procedures of all modern jets and ALL accident/crash reports.
Have flown on B 722, 732, 742, 743 & A 300B4, A300-600 (in real life).
IMHO, both companies produce aircraft to be respected.
If one don't understand philosophy, let me know before I board.
P.S. Definite difference in handling A vs B, but same with cars.
All my respect.
