Boeing or Airbus??

The three main criteria in job hunting are as follows:
1. Lifestyle
2. Location
3. Aircraft type
In that order.
BA seem to be getting Airbus's at long last and Virgin have them.
Most of the low cost short haul airlines have Boeing 737's.
The charter airlines seem to be going towards Airbus.
It all depends what lifestyle you want.

I could not agree with you more! Airbuses are the result of a couple of freaked-out engineers’ passion for automating aircraft. Boeings are much more adapted for pilots no matter what old left seat dinosaurs says about not having the yoke in front of them.
This is my advise to you Fuzzy:
GO FOR THE BOEING!!!

Yaaawwwnnn!!
I love this old debate - I've done both (Boeing 757/767 and Airbus A330) and the thing that I want out of life is to work for a decent company that pays me well, takes me to nice places and only flies during the day. Now where did I say that I prefer flying the Boeing or Airbus?
The fact is that you hardly fly the things anyway, in which case I'd rather eat my dinner of a table.

The only interesting thing left about these types of thread is that if you trawl through the hundreds of postings on 'Airbus vs Boeing' it is ALWAYS the Boeing supporters who attack Airbus first, never the other way around. Its almost like they lie in wait on the forum waiting for any thread that gives them the opportunity to leap in.
So come on Boeing lovers - what are you scared of? Perhaps a psycologist might diagnose a severe case of the aviation equivalent of penis envy
Or maybe the new thread about the number of non-real pilots is the cause.
Yours in (semi) jest and perfectly happy in my choice of penis substitute

I think us Boeingphiles have looked at the multitude of Airbus incidents that, on examination, could NEVER have happened on a Boeing product, and have made our own conclusions.
To be fair, the number of these incidents seems to have thinned out over recent years, but you know what they say about first impressions. Cheers.

OK - but equally I'm happy to be flying in a family of aircraft that has no record of rudder hard overs, no history of fuel tank explosions, no problems with ambiguous engine vibration indicator presentation and the many other quality issues that have been been pointed out at the big B recently and in the past.........oh damn but thats then me getting involved in this boring bloody argument again.
Im off to bed to dream about ECAM.....

To be fair, the number of these incidents seems to have increased over recent years, but you know what they say about final conclusions. Cheers

Here we go.
I fly a real Boeing (B727) and i wouldnt trade it in for a Airbus or New Automated Boeing.
It's great to have a dodgy autopilot so you fly the departures/arrivals and the approuches by hand(Thats why i became a pilot).
and every Aircraft should have a flight engineer(and 52049er i prefer not to dream about them when i'm in bed).

PS
real Aircraft have corrosion and make lots of noise

Well put by Flap 5. One sensible reply at least - if the question was genuine.
75 & 76 at end of production life. Not part
of Boeing "next generation" familly.
A320 etc still a part of current Airbus
familly. Easy to convert to A330 etc. or fly
aswell.
Best of luck whatever you choose.

Got home from a trip last night, looked at PPRuNe, saw this thread and thought great, this old chestnut again!
Just got up and had to look as there are always a few laughs to be had when this comes up.
So especially 52049er and Sariah Zub, thank you for making the start of my day so entertaining!

That's true.
But the question posed in this thread is almost identical to other, older threads. Why re-pose the question without any qualifying comments?
All I'm saying is that newbies should be familiar with previous posts before starting a thread. That's fair enough, isn't it?
