Which one is the better commercial flight brand ? ( If you have other aircraft manufacturer in mind you can name it)

I want put a video between those two but the button doesnt work unfortunately

I'm flight attendant

If it's not boeing I'm not going

 

[M1chl]

Airbus all the way, A380 is by far best plane for passengers, also A350 is cool. I like B777x, but I have my doubts as PAX, because B77W* was noisy as fuck and I always hated it.

Airbus also made Boeing desperate, when they launched A320NEO, that we got a MCAS ridden 737 MAX. Now they own a Bombardier, so they have planes in almost all segment and they also making Helis.

If it's Boeing I ain't going

Also Mista get ITT!

Do you ever hook up with passengers?

 

[Mista]

Boeing over anything! I love working on them more than airbus

Do you ever hook up with passengers?

We can't do that.

Boeing airplanes are more fun to work on than Airbus. No they're not the same

Can you give us some details?

 

[Mista]

Can you give us some details?

The wiring, the tech, and all that are done differently

Of course from the outside you can barely tell unless you know the model name

I am an aircraft engineer. I don't interact with passengers much unless there's a problem and I have to hop in and let them know

I've heard that fixing Airbus is like fixing BMW and fixing Boeing is like fixing Toyota.

Also you are certified on both manufactuers?

Most of the time yes but when you get a 747? Ooooh what a beauty.

Yes I am

 

[M1chl]

Also can we appreciate beauty of this plane, before McDonnel Douglas took over Boeing?

(DC-10-30)

I know the plane does not have best reputation, but I flew with it on my first Canada visit and it was great. Made me love planes even more.

 

[triplestation]

love this thread

I like Boeing, cause it be like:

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

The A380 is by far my favourite aircraft. Admittedly I have only flown Emirates in F and in J. I wouldn’t like to sit downstairs in economy to be fair.

777W was my favourite plane before the 380 came along.

Am yet to fly 787 or A350. It’s on my list.

I can perfectly tell Airbus and Boeing apart without the need of help

 

[xrnzaaas]

Are we really comparing a legit company like Airbus to a bunch of clowns who have led to (at least) two plane crashes because of neglegence (I'm talking about the 737 Max) and got away with it? And that's one of the controversies about Boeing.

Hey man i want to upload a cockpit video comparison but the button doesnt work

Any idea how to fix that

Which button? Media one?

 

[Airbus Jr]

Yes all those button appears mute to me

 

[Hudo]

Voted for Airbus but I'm biased. An Airbus factory is in my city and the most pleasant flights I had (so far) were on Airbus planes. However, the most interesting flights I had (so far) were in a SAAB 2000 because I dig propeller-based aircraft.

 

[ManofOne]

I chose Boeing b/c made 135% on the stock

 

[eot]

 

[borborygmus]

That's one hell of a jaw line.

edit: I've changed my mind, it's a weak ass jaw.

 

[M1chl]

Hmm, throw me links in DM, I will try it

 

[Airbus Jr]

Hmm, throw me links in DM, I will try it

This is how it looks

Cant press any of those button

Never had this problem before the updates

 

[borborygmus]

You're in preview mode. Press the preview button in the top-right corner.

 

[rykomatsu]

Can't really beat the beauty of the 787 design. Particularly those wings...my god those wings.

You in Europe?

i moved to Toulouse so have the Airbus factory near where I live.

I’ve flow on 747 and 380 both are excellent.

I love the 787

the 320 I go on quite a lot. Really nice plane.

Want to try the A350

My fave ever flight I was on was Concorde but I was really young.

I see the beluga XL a lot flying over my house.

Yeah, I live in Europe but in Germany, not in France.

Man, I would've loved to fly with a Concorde...man. I envy you, lol.

Cool, I am guessing it’s the Hamburg factory. Lol.

 

[Hudo]

Cool, I am guessing it’s the Hamburg factory. Lol.

Well, not too many options to choose from, haha. I also think there are factories in Brexitonia.

 

[M1chl]

In Hamburg: Finkenwerder they are fitting planes with interiors, could be fun to watch. Well not only I believe that some planes are assembled there also.

 

[jufonuk]

Well, not too many options to choose from, haha. I also think there are factories in Brexitonia.

I think the wings and engines are made in the U.K. for now.

 

[danowat]

Doesn't really make much difference to me, but the only thing I don't like about Airbus planes is 'the barking dog'

Oh yeah. I forget the name of that but it pumps the hydraulic fluid around or something. But I watched a captain explain what it was.



while on subject I don’t mind the 737.
Some of the smoothest flights I’ve had have been on them. This is pre MAX

I like this channel

Yeah, when they do single engine taxis they have to run the pump, I just hate the sound.

I'd have to say the most comfortable flight I've ever had was a JAL 738, but just to highlight how much the airline matters as the type of plane does, the BA 738 is not good!

 

[Draef the Badger]

If its a plane and American-made I ain't touching it.

A lot of my smooth flights were with Ryanair. The landings not so smooth. Lol. I guess it was time of day also.

First time on a TED A321 from Chicago to Vegas I witnessed this. Was all for pressing the call bell as I thought someone’s safe space dog had got out of its box!!
