But also in Airbus the developers believe so much in the sphoisticated computers that even the pilots can override them. But in boeingd perspective they beleive the pilots have the last say
Go, Boeing! As a pilot, I want to make decisions while flying the aircraft. I don’t need Airbus’s Siri bugging me about my flying skills. As a passenger, I trust those pilots at the front of the plane more than anything else while on a flight. That is why I choose Boeing. Sorry, Airbus. Better luck next time.

For me, by far Airbus. Do you know SilkAir 185? That wouldn’t happen in an Airbus. Planes are not designed to do monuevres, they are designed to fly with passengers on board. I am Airbus all the way.

The last times it was Airbus. A lot of Airbus had to make an emergency landing the last month. Didnt heard anything of Boeing , only the B777 of BA in Las Vegas.
I love Boeing, its comfortable. But later this week I’m flying direct from YBTL-YMML, on a Jetstar A320/A321.

Why do people feel the need to start something like this?? You like something you like something…why do others have to know??

@Jordino_Mutale What I’m asking isn’t about tastes and preferences, but about opinions and perceptions on the safety of both manufacturers.
In a developed country or developing?
If you say so, wasn’t trying to come off rude. Just Ive seen how most of these types of posts turn out is all.
Think that Boeing and Airbus are safety. But I feel by my self more safety if I fly on a Boeing.
The B737 is one of the best sold aircrafts of Boeing, and today although the cockpit looks older, it’s safety.
I have to ask, is the lack of support for Airbus because of geographical reasons or safety concerns?
I think a lot of people from the USA are very pro-Boeing?

It’s regional thing. Althought this is not an absolute, Americans tend to favor Boeing because Seattle is in the USA. Europeans tend to favor Airbus because the company is the product of hard work from multiple European nations.
In addition, the question you asked is opinionated, so the few rational people that put their fanboyism aside to vote without bias may have read the support and believed Boeing was superior.
Thus, parties from each side will pick their desired manufacturer whether it is indeed safer or not, comfortable or not.
I try and fly on as many MD-80s, MD90s, and 717s as possible since that is my manufacturer.
A real extreme would be COMAC, a manufacturer that exists to give China some national pride that manufacturrers an aircraft (Albeit aircrafts that are only purchased by companies with Chinese influence).
