Airbus has engineered pilot intelligence out of its products. This is suitable for pilots lacking intelligence.

The A320 design is a menace to us all. Airbus makes inherently unsafe planes!
I'm so confused. It almost seems like 737's have a higher rate of fatal accidents than the A320 series and the fatality rate is about 5 times as high in a 737 accident (in which there was a fatality).

I'd like to add that Boeing makes a great plane and I'm not suggesting that Airbus is better.
To keep this applicable to the Fractional board...whichever airplane is taking me to my crew food is the better design, unless I'm angling for a deviation.

It is really not meaningful to compare a 737 designed in the late 60s to a 787 by the same builder.
But yea the Airbus is totally an unsafe airplane that the pilots don’t have control over and the 737 is much safer! Boeing in general is much safer! Nevermind that if Asiana 214 would have been an A330 or A350 the airplane would have went to TOGA long before they stalled.
