Why are people flighting about what airplane is better? Who gives a shit? Honestly people are fucking stupid.

Like the Beach Boys song: "First gear, it's alright... Second gear, I lean right... Third gear, hang on tight... Faster, it's alright..."

@trechan Airbus and Boeing are going down 2 different paths. You might be right on the fly-by-wire thing. I never flew any of them and most likely never will. But I get to talk with A330 pilots on a regular basis and they seem to love their aircraft. I get yout point, pilots should be able to perform under strain. The problem is what if a critical event arises for which they are not ready for?as a passenger I would rely more on an airbus. the A380, wich provide its passengers with lots of room

@backpackerable The onboard Fly-by-wire system is shit and pilots know that. Airbus pilots are known for their skills not up to par compared to other pilots because Airbus aircraft give pilots training wheels.If a pilot is a pilot, then he should be trusted with knowing how to fly, not to be guided along the way. Less margin for error? I disagree, pilots are put under a lot of responsibility and are supposed to work under conditions.The only thing I like about the aircraft is pax space.

@trechan yep and you also are the 29th american! could boeing be on the wane? feeling sorry you guys. Airbus is way ahead and you guys know it. That thing upstages the still great 747. sorry. Europe rules.

@TheHedgehogPilot explain yourself

@xlegendzx3 I ve got a different version than yours. Have you already heard of pilot errors? did you know that under stress human beings suck at making rational decisions? 21st century is all about fly by computers-aircrafts.
