I got to fly on a BA 777 right after they came out, it was the second
BOS-LHR flight for the airplane. It was brand new, smelled like a new
car, and the BA crew were soooo excited to be on it (it was "their"
airplane!). I spent a good time on the flt chatting them up and getting
a tour of a lot of the features of the airplane, while sipping some very
old Scotch agricultural products... One of the (very experienced)
pilots popped back at one point for something, we got talking too and he
was really really excited to be flying it. (I got the impression he
might have had a lot of hours flying in Europe in the past). I got an
upgrade to First Class, and it was amazing...
Airbus.... no thanks...

Probably not much. Just ask some of the Airbus pilots. Oh, wait - you
can't ask them. They're dead.

I just flew from Naples Italy to Paris on an Air France airbus; was glad to
land safely. Flight from Paris to Atlanta was a Boeing 777; VERY nice to
ride in that plane.
Flight from Atlanta to Charleston was on a DC-9 built in 1978; even THAT was
preferable to the Airbus...
