Pah, i'd prefer a flight with a DC3 anytime, to any modern jetliner
And my car at least sounds like a T34

And regarding over-electrification, the Airbus is as bad as the 787. The accident happening to the 777 recently was based on an automated thrust landing, especially the far eastern airlines try to automate everything. The Airbus also has that of course, and had its own share of problems with it.

When it comes to my personal preferences, i would take an older hydraulic-controlled and well-maintained Boeing from the 1980ies, with a russian pilot. I take it this combination would have the highest survival rate
