What about Lockheed?

Would be interesting if they came back and started making widebodys, allthough for now they seem to be doing quite well on the military side.

As for the Airbus vs Boeing thing here are my toughts:
1)Boeing planes according to most sources can take more punishment, but airbuses dont allow you to do much either.
2) I prefer "Fat Albert"(or the pigshaped one
) over the A320. And I prefer Boeing.But I think that evrey aircraft manufacturer should be respected because they are after all building flying machines.

I flew the EMB-145 for about 5,000 hours and didn't care about the yoke. The only complaint I would have is a one-handed strong crosswind landing with the EMB yoke. You don't get enough leverage with one hand.
