And another thing....flutter! Most recently flew a 3-year old A320 and if ever one dared to go above 280kts it required a firm foot on a rudder to quell the buzz. I've had a few start a minor gallop in pitch as the elevator/stab/whatever flops in its bushings. Feels like the aircraft is about to come apart. One could argue this is a maintenance issue, but I believe the design should be tolearant of minor wear between mx intervals.
