Would you trust your life with a “sidestick” (Airbus) after the AF447 crash?
Having flown nearly 1 million miles, I have trusted both with my life and felt safe every time.
I do not care who made the plane....I trust the pilot to decide if she/he wants to put their lives at risk on this plane.
AF447 was inexperienced flight crew not waking the senior officers. The plane behaved in a known manner and was totally recoverable. The 737Max behaved in an unknown manner and the computer was given full authority to put the plane into an unrecoverable situation.
