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.

re: “AF447 was inexperienced flight crew”

I take it you do not know, do not understand, or do not totally comprehend that the situation that existed on the flight deck of AF447 WRT flight controls that could not and would not have happened on a Boeing aircraft, regardless of flight crew experience.

THAT is the take-away.

“Do you know why?” is my next question.
