This anecdote was valid until the MAX: A Boeing with an engine fire will pop up a dialog saying “flight computer detected a possible engine fire, would you like to shutdown?”. An Airbus with an engine fire will pop a dialog saying “flight computer detected an engine fire, shutting down engines”. The joke being Boeing pilots have a chance of saving the plane in the event it’s not an engine fire, Airbus will just do what it thinks is best and let the pilot sort out the aftermath. MCAS changed all that
