... a fly-by-wire system commonly used by Airbus.

Boeing uses fly-by-wire also. There is nothing wrong with it.

The Air France A330 crash was due to crew stupidity, not the aircraft.

The difference between Airbus and Boeing’s philosophy is even though both have fly by wire, Boeing still gives the final say and control to the pilots.

Fly by wire actulators are not much different tan numatic or hydraulic actulators, the only difference is that fly by wire actulators are actulated by electricity and computer control.

By the way this A 320 was in A check mantinance just yesterday.

Boeing products have hydrolic redundancy for failover. Airbus products do not.
