Hi Jim:
The rivalry between Boeing and Airbus resembles not so much the difference between Coke and Pepsi, but more so that of Snapple and Orangina. In our rush to travel on planes that actually work, and are comfortable to boot, we find that both are acceptable. I’ll stick with Boeing for comfort and safety’s sake, though I am impressed by Airbus’s entertainment console.
