"I was very fond of the A330 to but recent incidents have made me a bit gun-shy." What recent incidents? There has been only ONE crash of a A330 in commercial service which is the Air France flight that went down in the South Atlantic. The only other crash on record for the A330 was during a flight test and that was 10 years ago. And since the A330's introduction to commercial service they've racked up over 12 million flight hours.

The 2 QANTAS ADIRU problems (Oct, Dec 08) and then these two recent incidents: http://news.airwise.com/story/view/1246011377.html . I am aware of the fatal accident rate on the A330, as I studied their safety record before setting foot on one in December. (I do that for every model/airline I fly on.)
