Yes that's right. I've got 4000 in the 737 so I feel qualified to opine.

It could be argued that the plastic plane did a fine job in that incident. It remained intact and floated long enough for all to survive. I think that speaks volumes for the plane. The engines were not manufactured by airbus and ultimately were the reason for the crash. Apples and oranges I know, but germane to the discussion.

As far as your derision because its foreign, that's just your xenophobia shining through.

Enjoy your guppy. As it stands now I'll bid around it for the rest of my career.

I flew them both as well and thought the Airbus was a piece of crap. Never once have I had to toatally shut down a Boeing at the end of the runway to reboot.
