Now, if Airbus had fully tested their tails design, well beyond the point of the pilot being able to tear it off with their feet pushing the rudder pedal, maybe a few hundred people, New York 2001/Atlantic Ocean 2009, would still be alive today. Speculation on my part but something seems fishy about the 2009 Air France crash.

Boeing has been building and designing commercial aircraft since 1916.......DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE! How long has Airbus been around?

Sorry, but I am a believer in the Boeing family of jets. Sure they have had problems with this next generation of "composite" aircraft but it is the first one to be built. I know they will figure it out and make it safe.......
