Airbus or Boeing ?
 
What is you favorite type of aircraft airbus boeing or other please specify reasons for you choice.

I prefer the Airbus purely because it is revolutionary and also uses so many back up systems that it is hard to fail.

what about you lot?

It has got to be Airbus.The quality of the engineering is far better than Boeing.Think Ferrari compared to Buick!

Airbus all the way Boing has had a little to much sucsess and is due a down fall.

Embraer.

The story of how a poorly managed state company, with no innovation, goes from this:

To this:

After it was finally put in private hands.

I'm from Seattle...how do you expect me to respond? :D Actually, Ive flown on my share of Airbuses and they're pretty nice aircraft.

This would be a great test to do blindfolded, with similar seats, leg room, plane age and seat location within cabin.

I doubt anyone would know the difference.

Kapitan 04-02-06 11:38 AM

You can as it goes the A320 and A330 series have more of a bucketed seat than boeing and also the A340 compaired to the 744 hsa a tad more leg room.

To the best of my knowledge, leg room is totally dependent on the customer's configuration preferences.

I also understand that there are more than one seat model to select from.

Can anyone else confirm that?

Kapitan 04-02-06 11:48 AM

Yes there is airbus have even offerd a custom seat design for planes.
