I'll take a rudder hard over vs. the tail coming off over Jamaica Bay.

The tail came off for a reason. Have you ever slammed any control surface in FULL deflection, right left right left right? I have never. You have 1 FO who severely overreacted to wake turbulence ALWAYS by using the rudder. Introducing severe side load does no good to help a roll rate caused by wake turbulence at 250 kts. He did full opposite deflections 5 times before it snapped. Lets not blame the Airbus for that one. I agree with the NTSB's final conclusion, no matter how much it "hurts."
 
You notice those aircraft were FLOWN to a safe landing? You're airbus pops a few CB's and you're just a passenger.

You're obviously not familiar with the mechanical backup mode. What sort of kills an Airbus is the same that kills e.g. a DC-10, total loss of hydraulic systems. Not sure if the same applies to Boeings.

P.S. btw it's your airbus not you're airbus. :smash:

Oh good burn on the grammar.....pretty interesting how defensive you airbi boys are getting. Maybe it's because deep down you know I'm right.

Deep down I know that you have no knowledge about the Airbus. Why don't you take a look at the links I posted.
 
In my opinion this plane is one of the best ever built. Why did Boeing not create a next gen version of this? The 737900 is such a dog and will never live up to the 757. It seems like a 757 with new engines would be a great plane

Contintntal approached Boeing years ago asking to re-open the 757 production line and to develop a modern day version of the aircraft. Boeing refused. Their answer; "We are committed to the 787 program." That plastic pile of sh!t has cost them their Legacy.
