i prefer airbus over boeing any day airbus are unique there also the only fully manafactured aircraft to have a proper fly by wire capibility there very reliable.
if you note the sources that say everything against them please not its bias as the source is american if the source was canadian or non european non american then it be unbias
air canada b.a luthansa air france monarch and hundreds of other have had very few problems infact the 747 has more problems than the first airbuses
as for safety the A310 is the best
airbus rules
