Im taking an A319
The A319 has been flying since 1995 (20 years). There are around 1400 in service. Over this time, and with this number of aircraft, most of which fly several sectors a day, the total number of people killed in A319 accidents is:

0

Yep. Zilch. (And only two hull losses, one of which was a prang on the ground during maintenance.)

So if your flight does go down, as the helpless pilots struggle hopelessly with the haywire FBW controls, at least you will have the satisfaction of making history.

Bon voyage.
