As a European, I wish I could support our industry, but Mr Boeing gets my vote.
..Yep me too. Been 6 years on the Scareboos and l'd go back to a Boeing in a
heartbeat. Those Airbus bods started to let technology get ahead of aviation
conventional wisdom when the created the 320 suck-squirt. When one looks
at the 320 back in the late '80s and the latest 321 now, its been a very long
and often uphill battle to change Frog thinking to that required of a pilot. So
that's their learning curve, but I flat out aint interested nor give a crap about
AI's learning curves. Their latest QRH is just starting to resemble something
that a pilot in an extreme emergency can actually use without getting lost in
page-flipping, although its still in the "dogs dinner" category as regards to its
organisation and natural flows.
Also remember Airbus go to engineers and ask 'em for design considerations
whereas Boeing go to pilots.
And Boeings are built by geniuses to be flown by idiots. Airbuses are built by
idiots to be flown by geniuses.
..No one (incl me) is against useful advances in technology that may result in
certain personnel made redundant - but I'm dead against the rubbish Airboos
spouts every 3 years or so. That's why we need Boeing to protect us from the
often ridiculous nonsense of that French mob. And I'm sure the twit who runs
Ryanair must be their speech writer.
