I wish! No, I'm just fed up with people Airbus-bashing, (and also those who Boeing-bash) no, I don't fly one. It's the perpetuation of the myth that they are somehow more dangerous than other aircraft which can frighten the more gullible. Granted I was extremely tired when I read the post and replied and maybe a pause before replying might have produced a somewhat toned down reply but the essence would have been much the same - don't Airbus or Boeing Bash unless you actually fly the aircraft you are bashing. There are perfectly safe aircraft which I, for very personal reasons, do not like but I would never run them down or imply that they were unsafe simply because I'm not fond of them.
Edited because posting late at night when I'm very tired can have a bad effect on my spellling.
