Ya, okay. Thats idiotic. Airbus has a MUCH higher crash per flight rate than Boeing....but you do you, and stay at home.

I won't stay home. I will still fly, just not Boeing. Lots of other planes to choose from. Airbus, Bombardier, Embraer...
And on Airbus with much higher crash per flight rate than Boeing, do you have statistics to back that up or is it just something that you pulled out of wherever?
It's a fact. You can Google just as well as I can, I assume.
If I remember correctly, its significantly skewed in Boeings favor. Note that crash doesn't mean full fatality event. If that's the metric, they're basically even.
Assuming you live in the U.S....i don't think you really have much of a choice of what type of aircraft you fly, unless you're willing to pay a massive time/price penalty. Airbus and Boeing are the only operators beyond regional jet, and Boeing is the majority of those.....and those Boeing are GREAT aircraft.

You can't get away from Boeing or Airbus.

Airbus had problems with pitot tubes that were well known by pilots.

Boeing's present problem is a software problem, not an air frame or engine problem. Engine mfgrs have their own problems. The buck does stop with the C suite though. The 737 manager has already been thrown under the bus.

A good read re: flight MH370 for those interested in commercial aircraft tech and the human component related to recent crashes.

WRONG
So you are going to try to schedule flights now on only Airbus aircraft? That could turn out to be inconvenient, and pricey.
It is actually easy to do now that all flights list the airplane type. In fact I switched my flight on a 737 MAX early this year after the second crash but before the grounding, to an older model 737, which has better safety record than Airbus.
Why not? Airbus makes planes across all ranges of flights in all sizes. And then there are the others, Bombardier, Embraer...
Well you just insulted a whole profession without being a software guy yourself.
Just like the people who praise the dev for a piece of sw that works fine but blame QA when shit happens.
