All I can tell you is that the common phrase among engineers is : If it ain't Boeing, I ain't Going.
Airbus is a bad product.

I just saw that China and Russia are allowing flights over their territory now. You can fly a 777 direct from NY to hongkong via going over the north pole.

I don't know about the quality of Airbus planes, but I don't think I want to trust something assembled in France...not trying to bash the French here - but if this thing was assembled in Germany, the U.K., or in the USA, I wouldn't have a problem.
