But...for many it is an emotional issue. Fords and Chevys. Farmal/John Deere. Redskins/Cowboys. Facts simply don't matter.
Again, that’s incorrect. Both of those situations had pilots fly perfectly good airplanes into the ground. I suggest reading up on those accidents. Its incorrect and ignorant to peg Airbus at fault in these accidents. Boeing makes a great airplane but to say it’s superior suggests factual data to back that up and not opinion. It’s great to have opinions and preference but it’s disingenuous to say that Airbus is made for crappy pilots or that pilots somehow aren’t in control of it.
This is also a topic for another discussion.
