To anyone who has not actually flown an Airbus, "shut yer mouf." It's a great plane that can do a lot. Yes it has it's quirks just like any plane.

There is a reason Airbus is out selling Boeing nearly 2-1.

1521 to 193. 7.88:1We could do 747 versus A380 if you'd like too

Don't be mad because you don't have a tray table.You said the "Airbus is outselling Boeing nearly 2-1" I have given the exact statistics for the last 12 years which clearly show that is not the case. You then pick the Airbus 320neo versus the B737Max to try to win the debate. That is a narrow segment of both companies product line. I could pick the 787 versus A350 and say that Boeing outsells Airbus 1155 to 802. Or how about B777 versus A340-300/500/600 where the number is Boeing at 1893 and counting and Airbus at 377 and dead? That would be 5 to 1 in Boeing's favor. We could do 747 versus A380 if you'd like too

The Boeing vs Airbus debate is similar to people debating Chevy vs Ford.
Well, if you mean final assembly is in the US, then Airbus and Boeing are indeed like Ford and Chevy...But, they aren't both American are they? So, it is like comparing Ford and some French Auto Maker like Renault?
I like how you got the 380 sitting there in the foreground like a hideous broken lawn ornament. Subtle!
Btw I have no dog in this fight, although I do think Mitsubishi makes the best airplanes, and Beech the worst. The Beechjet absolutely confounds me. Love? Hate? Don't know how to feel!
