My question, are Airbus unsafe? While the percentage is obviously low, they do seem to have similar recurring problems and deadly crashes.

...

Probably due to poor piloting skills than anything else.

How a about when 737’s were having rudder problems and falling out of the sky? A 777 crashed in London a few years ago due to ice in the fuel system. A 777 crashed in San Francisco not long ago, probably due to pilot error, but avionics may have played a role. Both Boeing and Airbus make good aircraft. The percentages are very low for something to go wrong.

And they corrected the 737 and really no problem since. Of course some are pilot error, such as the 777 in San Francisco, compounded by the fire department running over and killing survivors. I’m just saying the number of rather similar Airbus crashes is adding up... Besides, as a state-sponsored manufacturer, will they have transparency on allowing negative info out, of admitting a problem?
