Here's a couple articles worth reading... subject: why Randy doesn't care for Airbus, and avoids flying on such aircraft.
The first one is a short one-pager which details just why the British government has asked Airbus to notify A320 pilots that losing radio communications in the aircraft is "more likely than most people realize."
Mmm-hmmm.

The second is a wonderfully informative six-page read. It's supposedly about Airbus, but I find it to be an unintentional message about the human nature, political infighting, the French (could write a book on the French... short book, anyway), the Germans, shameless and blind leadership, and the like.
