I've hated every Airbus flight I've gone one. I'm pretty sure I was in a different model than the one which crashed.

How would I describe the flights?
Moment after moment after moment of Shake-shudder-Shake-Rattle-Shake-Shiver-Shake-Shiver-Shudder- Shiver. The shakes were small and quick and closely spaced, not coarse.

It was pretty similar to driving in a car down one of the better built cobblestone roads of my younger years. Of course the car wasn't going to drop thousands of feet, because it wasn't depending on wings that could drop off due to metal fatigue.

I remember some years back that Airbus's would be susceptible to tailstrikes upon landing... did they ever fix that?

They also used to flip (it was a software glitch.)
