Yes , I will grant you that ; ) , I watched one come into IAD, ( QATAR),and see them overhead now near DTW now that DAL has retired the 744, there is a grandeur about the 350 , I also always liked the stretch 340 , especially in LH, and Virgin colors .

I would love your expertise on Asiana 214 by the way...

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.

That's an interesting chart. However, it seems to point out that the age of the design is more significant than the builder. The French built the Caravelle long ago...it's not even shown on the chart. (It had a far worse record.) 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.
