I thought Airbuses were supposedly a Piece of S....
Qf ones especially, but maybe not Airbus's fault - more someone who got paid a big bonus's fault.....
things like:
*wrong config - not enough galley space for international catering
*floors too weak, requiring structural mods for business seats
*overhead bins to small - weak, and break frequently
*crappy middle seat in business class
*side seats angle inwards and pax cop trollies in legs
also - frequent (similar to) dutch roll/ oscillations - during flight and taxi - due to odd airbus flight regime/aerodynamics - causes people in arse end to feel sick and gives front end of plane (premium pax area) a rough ride
- fleet commonality (via flight computers giving same feel across types) doesnt really work to well.
-metals are laminated together, not riveted (like boeing) - causes moisture between laminates and results in corrosion.
And lastly - they are the are simply cheap and nasty Hyundai's of the sky. You get what you pay for.
