By track record, the early Airbus 300s and 310s had an excessive landing=20 crash rates due to design vs training problems with the digital flight=20 controls which were very modal. This has since been resolved.

Not personally, but i have heard reports that i trust. Several year old=20 heavily used flash was the most common.

The A300 and A310 had conventional controls.

When landing, big planes have what they refer to as a squish area right as they fall in over the runway.
The C-17, having "blown flaps" experiences exactly ZERO lead in 'squish', so it fools the hell out of every first time C-17 pilot, especially if previously experienced with big craft.

Its not just about safety. Airbus airplanes make a crappy impression. Very little space for hand luggage. Small toilets. Everthing looks like it is going to fall apart from just looking at it.

Boeings are the Chevrolets (or Cadillacs), Airbuses are Fords.

If, as I assume, we're talking about fly-by-wire controls, they first appeared on the A320. The A310 was really just an A300 derivative.

Yes. But it sucks less than the alternatives.

We flew through a typhoon on the way to Manila from Mindanao on an Airbus (A319 I think). I was very impressed that the wings managed to stay attached to the aircraft.

Boeing now owns McDonnell Douglas as well, and IIRC, it was their craft that were made into the Hurricane trekkers

Oh well that's... just... great. And I'm happy I'm not a crew member on one of those trekker missions. I'm really not a happy camper when the plane flies sideways.

Well, as long as Boeing and McDD have been around, I would think their wings would hold up as well.
