Comment This is officially hyperbole (Score 1) 182
Okay, this is officially now hyperbole. It's one thing to cover major Boeing issues. But this is not an uncommon issue. I can see it in the sole Boeing reporting, without any AirBus reporting of the same.
I mean, I've never been on a Boeing that had gear totation or other issues, but I've been on plenty of AirBus aircraft that have, and had to fly by the tower to verify it wasn't just a sensor issue.
AirBus is just lucky they didn't have social media when they first implemented their automation decades ago
Let's stick to actual, major issues, like automation and plugs. Otherwise, this is becoming unjustified hyperbole. And yes, I've long been critical of Boeing too, especially in the 21st century. So don't throw the 'apologist' tag on me.
I mean, AirBus had more hull lost incidents and faster than Boeing, when the new, automated A300 series first came out. And AirBus didn't handle it well. Same with the man-machine issues, which were 'quick fixes' too, but they didn't do them until several hull loss events.
