Airbus = Bad airplane to fly

[SUBMAN1]

I read about how airlines outfit the aircraft - that is to a point only because the manufacturers have a selection. Boeing has theirs and Airbus has theirs. Otherwise you go custom interior which is not economical, so I don't want to hear that its the same between the two - it is not.

On another note, I read someone saying cockpit conformity across models in Airbus as a plus, but fails to mention that Boeing has been doing this same thing since the early 90's.

Probably my biggest complaint between Boeing and Airbus has to do with safety however. Airbus has hard set limiters on what you can and can't do with the aircraft. Boeing also has the same thing, but the end is where things are a major problem - Airbus will not let you ever exceed them given an emergency - if you are going to crash, and you go up against the limiters, you are going to die because that is all you get. Boeing however has a different philosophy - they also have this same limiters, but if its an all or nothing situation, Boeing aircraft allow the pilot to exceed them by using excessive force on the controls.

To me, this mentality by Airbus is an arrogant one to not give the pilot the final say.

PS. Again I am sick after getting back off an airplane. Its like a recycled cigar tube of bacteria and viruses. Boeing and Airbus should find a way to address this issue. Last couple days had a temp of over 100 F.
