I wonder if they have made something that looks like a laptop and can zap the Airbust computer.

Why would you need to? The tail falling off will take care of the airplane in the end. :P

Nice conspiracy theory routed in nothing but ignorance.

The A310 and A330 have very, very little in common aside from both being made Airbus. In terms of technology you’re talking about a Cessna 152 (the 300/310) vs. a Gulfstream V (the 330/340). AGAIN, ASIDE FROM THE MOST BASIC AVIONICS, THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN AN A310 and A330-200.

I love when the Airbus-bashers come out to speak their mind. I fly a Brazilian-made aircraft for a living, and I’m sure some of you have flown in an Embraer — made in a developing country, not France, Germany, Canada, or the US. There is also a good chance your last flight on a commercial aircraft went through its last heavy check in a place like Costa Rica or Hong Kong. Christ, I feel like I have to throw my head through a wall to get this point across.

I love America, but this tired bit about a European-built Airbus is inferior to a American-built Boeing (HEAVILY UNIONIZED, BTW) is damn ridiculous.

You watch too many movies.
