I didn't say that it would have crashed if the engine failed in flight, I just said that it wouldn't have done as well.
Remember, these things are controlled by French computers running French code. Sure, it probably passed the FAA certification tests, but do *you* want to trust a Frog computer to not suddenly decide that you're in-flight instead of taking off and cut power? I don't.

Good point - but I certainly don't care to fly on anything that uses a Windows operating system. The major point with the Airbus system is the no over-ride concept.
