AIRBUS AND BOEING
Why is it that type rating of an Airbus is much more expensive than TR of a Boeing, and why does the Airbus have a soft landing than a Boeing, if Airbus is taking up the mark would one day in like 50 years Airbus and Boeing work together

It's because airbus have fitted carpet to the wheels on all their A/C. Result is the softer landing. Obviously carpet is expensive (good quality carpet of course) so the cost to the manufacturer is absorbed by customers and as a result the TR is more expensive these days.
I hear Boeing are attempting something similar only with bubble-wrap, however the trials in the US have been hampered as the baggage handlers keep popping the bubbles on turn arounds

The Airbus has an advanced computer which instructs the crew how to best land the plane.
Its called the Talking Crew Runway Alignment Programme. Its a very clever system so its more expensive to train the pilots how to use it.
