Airbus will clearly be deeply unhappy about another event which ended in tragedy. Another non normal event which went horribly wrong.
Bottom line ~ training etc.
Certain aspects similar to AF447.

Question: would this be likely to have happened had it been a Boeing?

Airbus far better flight deck, and easier to fly with everything functioning normally.
However, when things start to go wrong, want would you rather be flying?
It's not a question of Airbus vs. Boeing, it's a question of training and the degradation of piloting skills. Have a look at this study. A couple of years old but unfortunate nothing changed so far.
