So, I will now make a completely unfounded and irrational statement: I avoid Airbus metal because I think they are unsafe.
Does anyone have the data on "most-troubled" aircraft or data that suggests one make or model has more "incidents"?

Given their poor F to Y ratio, I'd love for AA to find some systematic problem that takes the A319s out of service.

Well, there's that, too. The AA 319/21 experience, in general, is hideous.

Unfortunately it sounds like AA will also be ruining the PMUS A320 fleet. I find them to be extremely comfortable in the back.

A320 or A321? I've found the A320s to be in a pretty bad state of disrepair with no real benefits. The exit rows aren't great and there really aren't any good seats on the plane. At least the A321 has row 10 in the back, which I actually consider better than F in many cases.
