I'd rather fly in a plane which is serviced by maintenance engineers who have some idea of what's going on inside the black boxes.

A380: Smoke and mirrors with aluminium wiring, ethernet and firewalls connecting them... oh, and on the ground, four external power leads to power them ...

Hold on a minute, sorry, 3 hours, the computers are rebooting....

A good aircraft is one which has had all the bugs ironed out.
