Upstairs in an A380 is about as nice as it gets. Amazing ride. Much nicer than anything by Boeing.

No expert on the models, but Boeing 737-600/700/800/900, are those newer? That group has 0.08 deaths/mil flights, so practically the same. I think that A320s were at 0.08 before this crash.



So, even with that correction towards newer model Boeings, there isn't statistics showing the Airbus is unsafe compared to the Boeing. Otherwise they would not be competitive and would not have sold over 6k of them.

I'm not suggesting they're inherently dangerous. But I do think they're chintzy under powered flying culverts built by a socialist work program and sold by the crack dealer of commercial aviation.
