This last flight to Texas, 3 of the 4 legs were A319s. The other was a 737. The airbus actually had more room (I think because the seats were more slim). They both had WiFi (airbus had personal device entertainment on app, 737 had seat back tvs). 737 had more comfortable seats but less leg room.
Almost anytime I fly, at least 1 leg is an airbus. I'm just thankful this last trip didn't have Canadair or Embrair

Then did you tell us about the amenities on the random Boeing and Airbus jets you rode on?

Yes, I did. Good observation captain obvious.
quote:As a current Boeing 737 guy I'll go along with that all day long. Also flew the 777, 757 and 767. Fine machines.
If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going!

never been on anything outside an A319/320 myself and they seem pretty standard. I prefer the MD80/90s myself but those are fading out quickly.
I've heard too many stories about Airbus accidents. Many of them involving faulty equipment and/or flight software/how they train the pilots (although the pilot training is probably more on the airline's shoulders......but European airlines fly airbus, so I don't feel bad about lumping them in here).
Like the Air France 447 crash in '09. Instruments iced over, the pilot couldn't tell his altitude, freaked out, started climbing, never stopped, stalled the plane, and they crashed in the Atlantic.
Granted, American engineers are likely extremely biased in favor of Boeing over Airbus, so maybe I'm not the best person to make the argument. But Airbus (and the airlines that operate Airbus products) just seem to have more wtf? moments.
