You shouldn't be flying in a French airplane. I avoid flying with an
Airbus if I can.
Airbuses have been very safe. Just because there was a crash of one a
while back doesn't make them unsafe.
Boeings have crashed as well.
Sylvia.
By track record, the early Airbus 300s and 310s had an excessive landing
crash rates due to design vs training problems with the digital flight
controls which were very modal. This has since been resolved.
The A300 and A310 had conventional controls.

When landing, big planes have what they refer to as a squish area right
as they fall in over the runway.
The C-17, having "blown flaps" experiences exactly ZERO lead in
'squish', so it fools the hell out of every first time C-17 pilot,
especially if previously experienced with big craft.

If, as I assume, we're talking about fly-by-wire controls, they first
appeared on the A320. The A310 was really just an A300 derivative.

Oh well that's... just... great. And I'm happy I'm not a crew member
on one of those trekker missions. I'm really not a happy camper when
the plane flies sideways.
