I can think of a 757 in South America but that's about it...
Northwest 6231 and Birgenair 301 also come to mind.

but for as long as a human is sitting behind the controls I think Boeing does it better than Airbus.
If it's a case of preference, that's fine, so long as you don't try to argue it's less safe because statistics will prove you wrong! ;-)

But that's no different to any technology; there are plenty of pilots who are so comfortable with the bus (after transferring to it) that they wonder why anyone would like to do it the old fashioned Boeing way.

It's like Windows vs. Mac. While I happily worked with the former for years, once I discovered the latter, I couldn't imagine going back. Others try it and hate it.
