[AGreatPer]

Last time I flew an Airbus (JetBlue) from NY to FLA I got hung up in line at the door. I could see into the cockpit and it is scary when you don't see the normal steering wheel kind of thing. There is a wheel type of aparatus to the left of the left pilot. It looks freeky.

There are 2 websights you can go to see pictures of the airbus planes, www.Airliners.net and www.Flightlevel350.com
What you might have saw in the flightdeck were the pilots sit in the airbus, was the JOY STICK control device they put in the AIRBUSES for the pilots to fly the planes.
I feel safer with the old YOKE AND STICK control on the airplane.
I don't' blame you for not wanting to fly in a AIRBUS.
I once flew on a AIRBUS from Detroit.
While the passengers were boarding ( I was seated already in my seat ) and when the people walked down the aisle of the ( CHEAP BUILT AIRBUS ) plane, I could feel the floor move up and down, and buckle.
Yes, that is true, ex specially if a large heavy man were to pass you in the aisle , you could feel the floor of the AIRBUS airplane bucking up and down, and I thought ? this ain't right ? the floor should be solid, this airbus plane is built cheap.
I never saw that on a Boeing aircraft.
