Heard about the AA 757 that stalled over the Amazon?
How much do you know about Airbus? Funny thing is.... All Captains I flew with (lots of them with more than 10k+ hours on the 73) that flew the 73 told me that they will never go back it.
Anyway, back to the subject.
I thought it was the Caribbean enroute to the S. America. FlightAware had the ADSB data.
AB beats the 737. The 737 is better in some areas but it’s so far behind in others it’s not even a fair comparison.

It was over the Amazon. Somebody was fiddling with the throttles in manual, didn't tell somebody else when he went on break. After recovery, carried on to Brasilia. Initial write-up was 'encountered severe turbulence at altitude.' Mmm hmm.
If memory serves, they were in Maiquetia airspace, way south. Somebody's head rolled, not for the event itself, but for stretching/breaking the truth about it. Don't know if he got his job back. Pretty sure he was on probation, so probably not.
