No one assumes that Airbus doesn't have mechanical issues, but lets not overlook the next paragraph you decided not to quote for some reason:
"Through 2015, the Airbus A320 family has experienced 0.12 fatal hull-loss accidents for every million takeoffs, and 0.26 total hull-loss accidents for every million takeoffs; one of the lowest fatality rates of any airliner".
We can't ignore that Boeing has been having a particularly bad few years that are not normal mechanical problems but boiling down to neglectance.
- andsoitis 3y ago> you decided not to quote for some reason No nefarious reason. Just didn't think it is worth getting into the relative risk debate, because that tends to go sideways.
- rootusrootus 3y ago> one of the lowest fatality rates of any airliner "one of the lowest" How does it compare to the 737? If we're using statistics to inform our choice of airliner, then it's worth knowing.
