All those 777 crashes, if they had been occurring with Airbuses, would have been the starting point of a big media and internet campaign against those aircraft with a "French" logic.
Now, being Boeing and american aircraft, nothing of that - just talking about "aircraft pitfalls", that you have to know the automatisms better, and all that. You know, all the stuff "american pilots are basic, so we make aircraft basic.." "if it's not Boeing, I'm not going"
Taking glory about the airframe solidity because nobody was killed in three crashes in succession (BA, Asiana, EK) simply shows how desperate you are to find something positive in all that.
7000 flight "hours" for each pilot ? virtually all of them on long-range flights, looking at the motionless instrument panel when not taking control rest ? Where is the experience ? where is the experience ?
