I seem the recall that the Airbus is significantly less safe than Boeing jets, even more if you exclude the 9/11/01 four jets lost to islamists.

Is this true?

I believe this is the first major crash involving an Airbus 330 in commercial use.

I know nothing of the engineering specifics of any airplane but after one flight on an Airbus when they first came on the scene in the 80’s or early 90’s I have avoided them as much as humanly possible when traveling to France and the Caribbean and always here in the states. I hated the way they felt on take off.

I thought FedEx lost an Airbus 330 last few years.
