I would say the Airbus comments are incorrect. Prof. Missy Cummings (former F/A-18 pilot) at MIT is involved in research into cockpit automation. She was featured on at least one documentary into AF447. What is interesting in the Airbus vs Boeing debate is that pilots like Capt. Sullenberger who has flown both Boeing 737s and Airbus A320s doesn't claim its an "Airbus" problem. The problem is that airline pilots are becoming overly reliant on autopilots and forgetting the basic skills of flying the aircraft. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/capt-sully-sullenberger-airplane-automation-a-growing-concern/ http://www.cbsnews.com/news/capt-sully-sullenberger-airplane...
