Good follow-up reporting on some A320 incidents reported at various times earlier. Enjoy

Too many committees have their fingers in the pie with this Airbus nonsense. Now they are going to have the Chinese assemble the 5 humped flying camel. I have no desire to fly on an Airbus. I'll stick with BOEING.

[SIDENET]

I'll stick with BOEING.

Me too.

"Airbus urged to fix A320's electrics."

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I prefer to stick to Boeing aircraft if at all possible.

How many other Airbus aircraft have lost various control systems and crashed?

[Loud Mime]

They want the electronics fixed? Why?

Methinks I'll only fly on Boeing craft from now on.

Enjoy

As somebody who has to fly these things from time to time, I'm not enjoying this at all!

[garyhope]

You and SidNet beat me to it by 3 min.

Good ole American technology and craftsmanship.

America is a more real place and ethos. America is a more HONEST place and ethos. America is a more trustworthy place and idea.

We've got our faults, but still,.....

You have that totally wrong. It is not Airbus but SCAREBUS. Fly on it at your own peril.

[El Sordo]

Well, those must have been some white knuckle moments.

Dilemas, dilemas...
US Air (the Imam's LEAST favorite airline) uses a lot of Airbus aircraft. American, etc., use a lot of the Boeing stuff. What to do?
I know--whenever that abortion of an Airbus A380 is the only way to get overseas--swim. At least you won't be making history by being involved in the world's deadliest airplane disaster.

I guess they brought Lucas electrics

LOL, as the former owner of an MG, I know what you mean.

[Neidermeyer]

Why isn't there an AD on this ,,, those power systems sound like they're much too likely to fail with little chance of recovery, can you imagine a dark glass cockpit AND losing your basic equipment like your Xpdr and radios in busy airspace in western Europe... If I was a professional I would carry a handheld radio with nav indicators in my bag for sure in one of those deathtraps...
