Lets not ignore the fact that the aircraft didnt crash, the pilots didnt lose control and they landed safely.

Funny thing, I know what all those parts are and what they do, even the AC Ess Feed.  :)

Wow that's reassuring, with China's great record of air safety and concern for human life.

Jigger bugs in the CB panel?

Airbus make great copies of Boeing airliners.  In many cases they have improved on the original designs and concepts but Boeing wrote the book on commercial airliners.  

Airbus benifits from being able to sell planes at a loss, undercuting Boeing in the sales dept, but Boeing 737NG, 747-8, 777 and 787s are/will be the better product for the future.

How about facts for a change..

I don't understand whats the problem with having competition - it has actually motivated the industry to design NEW planes.
Without the competition you'd be prolly still flying 737-200's and such, because nobody has had the motivation to develop 737NG.
Just  take a look at the GA planes - designs are still back in the 60's.

Besides Boeing has hardly done anything for all these boingboing fanbois, except collected money for their own purposes.
Same with all the industry... so whats the purpose of becoming  a fanboi of something that doesn't care about you.

You'd take that back if you'd been in the cockpit of a 172SP with NavIII.

Damn...I sure would have enjoyed myself back then playing with these.  Wonder why Cirrus is so far behind the times. :furious

....and sporting the fuselage of a C172, not so pure 21st century.


Golfer,

Cirrus is only one of the rare newer models...
Most designs are oldish.

Sounds like the Airbus just needed rebooting! ;)

Why is it always the most fervent gun-loving neo-cons who repeat this mantra? :confused: What I want to know is how do you go about booking a flight with a guarantee that the aircraft will be a Boeing, when the major US airlines like American and United (plus a lot of the smaller ones) also operate Airbus, and even McDonnell Douglas? The MD80 is the backbone of AA, so would be pretty hard to avoid.
