the Boeings allow are a lot more safety than the Airbus.
Nonsense. The accident rates for both Airbus and Boeing among first world airlines are so low as to be lost among the statistical noise, and no useful comparison can be made between them on safety.
This is a nice move by Emirates, but I still won't be flying Emirates.
You do realise that the Emirates fatal accident rate stands at zero, despite being one of the world's top 10 airlines by passenger-kilometers (source: Wikipedia)?
