Still there is significant difference between AB and BA philosophies. In a boeing you can still stall the thing if you pull the yoke hard enough.
In the bus, in normal law, yanking the stick all the way just tells the FMC "pitch up as far as you safely can".
This is the point I am making. The Indonesia air Asia flight crashed because the Captain reset the Flight Augmentation System. In a Boeing aircraft of old the pilot can still fly it.
In Boeing the computerised system was there to help the pilot. In Airbus it flies the aircraft all the way.
EASA is way too strict with their certification and licencing compared to the FAA. Boeing got all the shit but FAA has to take the bigger share of the responsibility in messing this up.
I am not going to fly it until EASA certifies it.
Boeing is in trouble as it is with the 350 competing with the 777.
For me I don't like the 787. I prefer the older 777.
CAAC is the important one for Boeing. That's where their biggest market for the Max is.
