I fly on Boeings, period. Their tails stay on, rudders stay on and just do not have the issues like an Airbus does. Some of the Airbus products the autopilot will not let the pilot over-ride the system and there are times when the pilot is smarter than a black box.
Sorry but its my life and have taken enough chances with it already.

I guess we'll casually omit any mentions of 737 rudders.
or 757 autopilots that plow into the side of a mountain (although that was major pilot error, perhaps like the Airbus rudder too).
Didn't Airbus fix the early problems with over-riding the autopilot after several accidents, including the infamous one at Le Bourget?
