Saturday 26 May RNW - NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE NETHERLANDS IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE
Anonymous 3 January 2010 - 12:15am / Australia

True, indeed, Steven.

I am a pilot and I have flown Boeing aircraft for most of my life. I just recently did an A330 conversion but I changed airlines now (back to flying the 767-300 ER) because the A330 is an aircraft where the Pilot is the 'back seat driver' telling the aircraft where to go but not really being able to physically handle the aircraft (I mean, you have such limited control when flying by hand) and in certain emergencies it retards the ability of the crew to act appropriatly. Airbus are good aircraft in certain aspects, but I do believe that there may be a safety issue.
