Really?

The only double engine failure ever due to birds?
Eastern Air Lines Flight 375 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Lockheed Electra - quadruple failure - fatal)
Ethiopian Airlines Flight 604 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (B732 - double failure - fatal)

The only crash where three pilots lose complete SA in level flight completely lost, right until the they impact the water?
Birgenair Flight 301 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (B752 - fatal)
Flash Airlines Flight 604 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (B733 - fatal)
Northwest Airlines Flight 6231 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (B722 - fatal)


The only tail coming off on departure at slow speeds?
See previous posts - Boeing determined that those inputs would have exactly the same result and changed procedures accordingly.

All manufacturers have their flaws and Airbus are no exception - but at least do your homework before making sweeping claims like that!
