Captain's point of view, Boeing vs Airbus.. The Real differences

I have 8 years of Boeing experience and 16 years of Airbus. As an airline captain, I'll compare those 2 planes and tell you what's better from an airline captain's point of view.

0:02 Hello guys!
When it comes to the volume of selling, Airbus has already outrun Boeing.
But I just wanted to give some kind of Symbolic meaning of a manufacturer who had been a champion for a long time.
Also..
Regarding introducing airplanes ever produced from both companies,
I purposely left out some of them since it's too many and I thought that it could be better to say it as a family if possible,
like A320 family or A300 family.. Lots of you have left the comments saying I missed A310 😅
That's the reason why!!

One more thing..
Sidestick of Airbus was introduced in 1987 by A320, not in 1994 by A330..
my bad! Idea that I wanted to give you was not letting you know the exact time but like..
"it's been long ago.. concept" anyway.. I should have been more careful!

Thank you for watching and comments 😊👍

Boeing needs Airbus and Airbus needs Boeing. Competition pushes innovation otherwise they stagnate. I love them both.

The neighbour of my grand parents is a retired (2018) Lufthansa pilot.
He too flew both and for him Airbus has the upper hand.

Airbus has fixed the flaw of not communicating with the other pilot. Even with AF447 before this change was made, the side stick actually vibrates heavily to let you know that the other pilot is also trying to control the aircraft

Nice video. apart from the yoke difference, most videos focus on the outer difference. nice to see an in-depth perspective of the cockpit diferences

[rolfgerig]

Fascinating to hear a captain pilot's perspective, thank you!
As a frequent international passenger in the past on many brands of planes I had no problem with boarding a Boeing 737 jurassic
or classic, 747 or 777 nor a noisy and vibrating DC 9 ascending steeply into the clouds.
These days I would flatly refuse to board any Boeing aircraft, especially the 737Max series.
I'd make sure my airline bookings result in Airbus travel of any kind with the A380 as the preferred option, most stable and quiet even in economy class!

05:38 - Airbus introduced sidesticks on A320 in 1988, not on the A330 in 1993.

I follow a lot of aviation channels but this one stood out to be one of the best. Well made, edited and full of ultra useful content. Thank you.

Very good video. You can give an expert opinion for sure. I am a retired Mechanic and would like to say I prefer the Airbus too. I like the way the Airbuses computer systems help the Mechanic troubleshooting faults. As a passenger, I feel more comfortable. When I worked Sheet Metal on Boeing aircraft, I found the materials a little beefier. On the Airbus, everything is precision made so replacement parts almost always aligned up with the pilot holes. I heard the old saying "If it's not Boeing, I'm not going" but I think that will be going away soon. Boeing has some catching up to do with Airbus. You are so right about the differences. Thank you.

Nice video. Always good when a pilot talks about the differences between Boeing and Airbus after flying both. For those wondering what I said before I edited it, I asked which he preferred for handling, A330 or 787.

This was educational and well-presented, thank you! More, you come across the screen as super trustworthy.

Hello may i ask you whats the song in your intro at 0:31? Greetings

[lepoetegribouille]

I am french, and thank you for comparing that. Very interesting

[ricardobonalba]

I am a twice yearly passenger going from Manila to USA and back. Ride on economy claas of A350-900 and B777-300 and felt the comfort of Airbus vs Boeing thru their seating arrangement. Hope Boeing will improve the passengers comfort in their next and new production line of Boeing passenger planes.

[washburnb]

You were very fair and professional and cited fascinating sublties of differences
The only airbus difference I don't like is the joystick. But now, I see the comfort of a n Airbus pilot tray table! Instead of a yoke.

I fly an A320. I do agree it would be beneficial to know the other pilot’s side stick position, such as during the ground control check or on takeoff roll. Aside from this mild inconvenience, I absolutely love the aircraft. It is a pleasure to fly, and it is very comfortable. My company bought some 737 Max. Most of our pilots do not want to fly on them.

The ‘On-Off’ toggle switches are typical of US standard. In Europe it’s the opposite as standard. It’s confusing as I live on both sides of the pond.

[andyish]

Kudos for having been able to succinctly express the main differences in philosophy, with few examples, instead of details overload.
Actually as a once frequent traveller I can cabinwise relate to that, maybe the differences were even more pronounced in these days. The old Boeing feeling (707, 727, 737, 747): Solid, conservative, trustworthy, no-frills, with a touch of wagon (727, 737) or clipper (707, 747). As opposed to Airbus (A 300, A310, A320): Cool, French, sophisticated, but somehow impersonal, even boring. BTW: DC-8, DC-9, DC-10 were all likable, yet somehow odd. And the L-1011 felt like an interesting standalone.

Nice work! I'm a new hired at AAL. Very excited for the future & opportunity. I currently fly a Falcon 2000 made by the French.. I've to pick between the 737 & A320 in class, I'm definitely leaning towards the airbus. Some similarities with the Falcon 2000, clean & simple.

Im retired Captain (United, Western and Aerolineas Argentinas), i´m flew with MD10, DC-10 and B747, Boeing 727 and Douglas DC9, almost all time with B747 and DC10 and i prefer Boeing.... definitvely and positive! Best regards Capt.
