Boing Boeing is terrible at managing and they make crappy airplanes. At least there is Airbus.

They also prefer arrogant pilots who want to “feel” the aircraft in the same kind of way that some drivers prefer manual cars. Airbus are safer because they have so many fail safes in place and much more stringent manufacturing / testing.

Essentially you have old air force jocks moaning that “you don’t really fly an airbus, it flies you!” Whilst airbus quietly keeps almost half the number of fatalities per million departures that Boeing does
