Actually, lots of 737 crashes were due to the poor rudder design, United had one, Us Air had one, and someone else, you look it up.

What about the dirty hydraulic fluid found in some of those 737's?

Does this mean one is safer than the other? Not necessarily, but you are more likely to crash in a 737 than anything else between the two manufacturers.

You are not only an ignorant person, you are a very stupid one.

The person with whom I was communicating and I were very narrowly discussing computer failures in transport aircraft.

Only Airbus aircraft have ever experienced "catastrophic hull loss" as the consequence of computer failures. Off the top of my head I mentioned three of the airlines that have experienced such losses.

And I do not need to access idiot prompt sites in order to be knowledgeable in the Aviation/Aerospace industry. My resume includes more than thirty thousand command hours and a period of several years as aviation advisor to the United States Secretary of State.

This will complete our last exchange.

Than you for having shared.
