Here was one of your posts in the Aviation Humor section.

The difference between new and old Airbus pilots?
New "Hey, what is it doing?
Old "Hey look, it's doing it again."

Do these planes have problems with malfunctioning gear or electronics or something. The fact that you intended this to be obvious humor tells me that there might be a "record" with the plane that most pilots know of.
I once checked out some airline crash websites and it seems that most of the crashes with the Airbus seems to have been due to pilot error like not setting flaps right or hitting a mountain because of not knowing how to use the sophisticated navigational systems. (most notable malfunction I have seen is the one in NYC in Nov. 2001). Not really sure what caused the one at the French Air show though?
I believe it had something with trying to push the plane a little too much though. Again, I'm not sure though.
If there is something that makes these planes a little hairy, then what is it. I am starving for any knowledge about any Commercial airliner I can get, whether it is good or bad.
Hey, thanks
