Boeing or Airbus?

[TurboS7]

I guess Airtran like Airbus. Wait until summer when they are on approach in ATL and totally in St. Elmo's, then the airplane starts turning left instead of right. Why should we choose anything French right now anyway.

CitationCapt,

You watch too many news channels...who cares about the French and the war...Airbus makes better product at competitive price.
I've never flown Airbus and may soon have that opportunity, but from pilot stand point I know that Airbus is more automated and more pilot comfort oriented than Boeing. I fly Boeing's latest creation and I'm not impressed with their attention to detail and overall quality.
I'm an American consumer and I demand highest quality at competitive price. And that's why I drive Honda after having countless problems with Taurus and Dodge. If we can't create product that can compete with overseas companies then we need to improve it and not cry about US job loss. After all US Airlines that fly Airbus are looking for better deal so they can create more US jobs.

WOW 34 to 4 in favor of Boeing. That's the American way.

If it ain't BOEING I ain't going end of story. Besides, almost every airline that gets the airbus eventually goesout of business

The 757 has my vote for passenger comfort and it is hands down the best looking airliner out there. Hopefully someday I'll have the chance to fly one.

All Airbus's and Airbus products should be banned from the American skies. You Airbus lovers can all move to France where they make love not war.

I'd be happy to comply. Just one caveat; make sure all scabs go back to whatever rock they crawled out from under first.

I like the airbus seats better. The A320 series is assembled in Germany out of parts from all over the world. Boeing is subsidized by the US government through militairy projects. And the 777? assembled in Seattle out of parts from all over the world. tail for example comes from Japan or korea.
Most Honda's and Toyota's qualify as an American car. More than 75% of the parts are US made and put together in the US, whereas most 'US' cars have lots of parts out of Mexico and Canada or are assembled there. It's just that the Japanese sense for quality makes a superior product. An American (GM) car is designed to fall apart after 100kmiles or 10 years

That is because they make military products. The government gets something in return for their money. Airbus gives nothing in the form of a physical object back to their subsidizing govt's.

Airbus is nothing more than a big conglomerate operated by socialist governments. There is no incentive to create a lasting and quality product because they cannot go out of business, their socialist system will not allow them to. This is why you will see Boeing and McDonnell Douglas aircraft (I know they are the same company) operating much longer than their Airbus counterparts. Just look at the old Soviet system and the type of commercial aircraft they turned out (absolute crap), this is what Airbus is to a lesser extent.

Just my humble opinion.

Is't it funny that people who never flew Boeing vote for it, and majority of those people who did, vote for Airbus...
