Then you obviously haven't flown fifi enough. Not only does the POS vary plus or minus 20 kts it will sometimes just give up the ghost and not even try to make an altitude. Hell, it even will decend below hard altitudes going into Denver. Known problem and within last 2 months there was a bulletin about it. Absolutely horrible vnav. Not to mention it doesn't decend out of TOD on its own which is a complete joke.

I’m sensing a lot of “I didn’t bother to study the flight logic and I’ve hurt myself in my confusion.” 😂
I have 0 complaints about Fifi. You can either accept that she’s weird and french and once in a blue moon you’ll actually have to do pilot stuff, or fight it at every step of the way and be miserable.
I haven’t flown the guppy so I won’t trash it as a pilot but as a passenger at least the APU is usually running on the bus during boarding.

You didn't explain the difference between the NG and the first generation glass Guppy's. If you have nothing, then you can't claim they are somehow magically safer and must lump them into the -300,400, & 500 pile, and therefor negate what argument you were making.
Do you honestly think the 737 (any version) is safer than the A320 series?

Here you go. .09 vs .07 for NG as stated.
Any other questions??

And actually the A320 was designed in the 70s and produced in the 80s.

Okay, the subset of 737NG has a slightly better record than the A320 series in its entirety. Not exactly apples to apples, so it should be by your definition only A320 series made during the same timeframe as they 737 NGs. I can guess how that would turn out.
The bigger question, is do you really think the 737 is a safer plane than the A320?
