Yeah we didn't dwell on it too much when I did my type ride in the 320.
My comment (and the other guy's) were jokes. Relax. I'd take the comfort and systems/avionics integration of an Airbus over a Boeing (that I've flown: 757 and 767s) any day of the week.

I'd love to fly an airplane that effectively takes the pilot out of the equation.
We had a very low level windshear incident in Juneau a little over a year ago that would have resulted in a crash had we been airbus drivers rather than Boeing pilots. The Boeing allows the pilot full flight control authority from FL to touchdown.
There is no substitute for a Boeing.

What does a boeing do beyond allowing the pilot to have full power and shove the stick full back and ride the shaker all the way out? That's what the airbus does. I'm not going to stall my way out of a w/s encounter.....
A w/s encounter and that 'bus doing 1500 trees per minute in France back in the 80s are two totally separate issues. If you shove the power levers forward and pull back on the stick, the airbus gives you full power and a climb, every time.

Just wondering.. did you repeat the conditions in a 'bus or 'bus simulator or is your comment about it would have been a crash in the 'bus speculation?

From: FAR part 347 (91+121+135)
As one example.. in a windsheer the MD would recover with autopilot and do a far better job than you could with manual control. the Bus required autopilot disconnect.. the list goes on with regards to fully automated flight and systems.
But I agree, the above demo is pretty much a boiler plate standard airbus air show demo.
