This Boeing versus Airbus debate is an on going and almost theological one...
The rationale for both can and is debated ad nauseam...
Neither are perfect and overall the differences are slender at best.
The pilots (here) by and large prefer the 'feeling' of being more in control in a Boeing (pax aircraft only) than the Airbus....fair enough, its their preference.
But they are only one facet of the airline...so the overall package needs to be looked at.. for the last 6 years Airbus has offered a better overall offer to airlines than Boeing, this year and possibly for the next few years that trend may well be reversed.
Certainly having spent much of my working life with the non pilot side of airlines and airports the Airbus/ Boeing debate is noe which is veiwed very differently by others....and the advantages are always very slim.
The reality that both companies produce a 'good' airframe....its the definition of good that varies....nothing else. To state categorically as many have that X is better than Y is merely a personal opinion...and somebody else could logically and rationally present the exact opposite and be correct....
Its like a a Ferrari fan and a Porsche fan arguing which is 'best'....
