Looks like the captain made it look easy......I guess his plane will actually flare when he pulls back on the stick....

Don't think you would have felt that way if you were the one actually flying that big tub.

Looks pretty nice...until you remember that the wing has yet to pass its certification strength test.

"Wiring harness problem"...yeah, right.

...or going home with the corresponding paycheck....

Airbus vs Boeing is sooooo overrated...
It's not like we're buying the thing.

Tell me about pay and QOL, then I'll decide...

George,

Its not a Boeing vs. Airbus thing...its an "Airbus vs. airworthiness thing."

Can you tell me ANY other major airliner that failed it's WING TEST?

Pay is only good if you are alive to spend it...

Did the A380 really fail its wing-test? That would be terrible! Do you, or someone else, have any further info on that?
