Poll: Boeing or Airbus?

[Zortan]

So as many of you probably know - I'm a huge Boeing fan, but it seems like a lot of you around here like Airbus. So I'm putting this out there just to see what you like better - definitely not to find allies and enemies

JK you're all great - just wondering what you prefer and why.

I am seriously insulted that you did not include Vickers-Armstrongs in this poll.

Apologies. While I do respect Vickers-Armstrongs, I'm more referring to the current duopoly

Boeing simply because they make beautiful airplanes. Airbus's... just look like something I drew in 5th grade. However, I do have to say I really do like the look of the Azul A320neo picture in the game, and there's no such thing as an ugly airplane (except the A300 and A330 belugas)

Haha true. Although, I would say that the Trislander is pretty ugly

Definitely Boeing for me.

Beyond the technical and mechanical problems, I prefer Boeing's manufacturing philosophy, which allows the pilot to leed the plane while the plane's system shows errors. Airbus practically leaves the pilot at the mercy of the systems.

Quite right! A Boeing pilot flies the plane, an Airbus plane flies the pilot

Maybe a balance. My favourite Indian domestic airline, Air Vistara ordered today 6 787-9s (with option for 4 more) and 13 A320/321 NEOs. They would lease another 37 A320/321 NEOs. I love the 787s for medium to long haul and the A320 family on the shorter routes.

I’ve heard good things about Vistara. I’ve only flown IndiGo and Air India when I was in India, both were horrible experiences. I’m glad that they ordered those 787s
