Apples to Oranges. I've never had a UAS ordeal, so we just don't know. I should have included the qualifier that my Airbus training was no better. My other jet training was superb.

But to answer your question, I'll take a guess that most of the 36 other crews were flying the 330 as their second/third/fourth etc, transport category swept wing jet. Maybe their Bus training was inadequate, may not. But they likely had previous experience to fall back on either way. If I read the BEA report correctly, the two guys at the controls for AF447 were essentially Airbus only.

To address your other claim, I'm not arguing that the Airbus design is "dangerous by design". Your confusing me with some of the other multitude of people you've argued with these last six years.
