I don't ever feel unsafe in an Airbus. But as a pilot, I don't like their thinking. When I'm in the left seat that is my aircraft. I'm in control. I do not want a computer telling me the bank angle I'm making is too steep or the runway too short. I know what I'm doing, let me handle it.

My thought is in an Airbus the pilots won't be prepared to take control and do the right thing in an emergency.

I bet you have an upside down tattoo on the back of your neck that says the same thing.

Had to think about that one for a second.

Yep

I know how johhny has played up to this point. I know how sf has played. It was a no brainer.

There are two types of thought in aviation.

Airbus believes the aircraft should be automated. The computer is always smarter than the pilot and can make better decisions.

Boeing believes the pilot should have the final authority as to decisions onto the flight. Computers are just an aid to the pilot.

Personally I like Boeing's thought process better. Airbus builds cockpits for comfort. Boeing builds cockpits for pilots.

Unfortunately cars are the same way now and getting worse every year. It's hard to find a real "driver's car" anymore unless you start shelling out $60k or more.

My thought is in an Airbus the pilots won't be prepared to take control and do the right thing in an emergency.

That I disagree with. But the set up does allow for more confusion if you aren't trusting your instruments.

Take the Air France disaster. They were disoriented, not trusting their instruments, and then doing opposite control inputs. The computer only allows one to function at any given time. In a Boeing, that never would have happened. If I pull back on the control wheel the guy next to me is going to know it. If I turn it, he's going to know it. He's also going to know the degree to which I'm making that turn. You don't get that at all in an airbus.

I've used sidesticks before, and I will admit they are nice. But in a two pilot operation, I want both pilots knowing what the other is doing at all times. It's just good crew resource management.

Luckily they aren't over automating them yet though. When driverless cars get perfected it will be bad.

Not true. Get a challenger rt.......
