Why just Boeing ?

Airbus made the FBW mistake almost from the beginning, years before Boeing.

It's not a mistake, it's the reason they're jockeying with Boeing for number
one supplier of airliners,


They're not.

So, how many times have all mechanical throttle linkages broken on an
airliner?

Too few airliners have them for relevant data to exist.

I don't think so.

The efficiency of their wings has been another factor in their success too.

Whatever you happen to think, you're not going to turn the clock back regarding
FBW any more than cars are going to re-start using carburettors instead of fuel
injection driven by ECUs (or cockpits are going to regain flight engineers).

Yep. A school bus, at that! I had to pick up the accelerator with my
foot, to get stopped.

Somehow I doubt you've ever held a driver's license.

Sir.

By your infantile attacks; you discredit yourself, severely.
You are known by your deeds.

Whoop! here we go with a week long argument about how he once held someone
