Boeing vs Airbus
Friends I want know from experts here, what is bestists to fly?
Safety much important, these days speciall, because each life of us have only two arms two legs one private things, and one head and one life each. So because designs different which is safety the most? Airbus much like computer Mac yes? But Boeing much like more PC for skill pilots but much more controlls?
What is different and what has safety?
I want to know because i from europe.

Flying on both type of aircraft is sufficiently safe, same with Embraer etc. No preference, really, other than that I prefer the A32x interiors over the B737 as the aircraft is a bit wider, which can be used to give wider seats or wider aisles, both of which come in useful.
I'm not convinced it is a useful debate.

This is the type of thread that has a tendency to quickly become nonconstructive...
Anyway, there is no correct answer to the question posed by the OP. Both manufacturers make excellent airplanes and each individual customer (be it an airline or the end user, the person sitting on the plane) will have their own preferences for one reason or another. There are way too many variables to make an accurate comparison of their safety, because so many accidents are not directly caused by malfunctions in the plane itself.
I think most rational FTers would agree that both manufacturers build planes that they would be perfectly comfortable on, and that the real differentiation in the flying experience comes from the choice of airline.

Doesn't strike me as a troll, but there will probably be a few popping up to answer. The best to fly is a Grumman, but failing that Boeing or Airbus really doesn't matter.
Could be worse; could be Windows.
Airbus much like computer Mac yes?

Hehe, could you imagine if your airliner were run by Windows?
"Ladies and gentlemen, your captain speaking. You may have noticed that the engines have stopped. We got a blue screen up here, so we have to shut down and restart the aircraft. Don't worry, we can glide for quite some distance and should have things restarted in no time. When the system reboots your oxygen masks may drop; this is nothing to worry about. Thanks for flying Windows Airlines."

OK Windows yes old windows blue screen I understand, but I mean this. Mac is like Airbus - complete computer controls all nice and smooth marketing, but like PC, Boeing is user costom, can add, take away, tweaker it here there see?
Beoing has pilot in control but Airbus has computers in control like Terminator. When pilot wishes control terminsators say "NO! WE ARE I CONTROL"
See?

And the biggest cause of plane crashes is...human error! It goes both ways.

Mistake pilot? Or Computer Errors? Airbus = Computer Errors + Mistake pilot but Beoing = Mistake pilot only see?
