Boeing vs Airbus
It appears I am going to be able to choose between working for Boeing or Airbus when I finish my engineering degree. If you had to choose one or the other, can you you tell me which you would choose, and why?

I will have to admit to you up front that I am just a little prejudiced when it comes to which airplane manufacturer I prefer. Though I believe I have good reason why I believe as I do.
With the exception of Airbus I have worked on just about every major aircraft manufacturers plane in the Air Force inventory, Boeing by far are the easiest to repair and the aircraft that are more reliable. Some proper TLC (preventative maintenance) and the Boeing planes seem to just keep flying.
Pilots seem to like the planes as well. Now both Airbus and Boeing planes are as automated as you can get. Pilots today are more flight management than stick and rudder pilots. Boeing continues to provide the pilot with a stick and rudder where Airbus has done away with them and given the pilot a joy stick as in a computer game. Most Pilots still prefer a stick and rudder especially in an emergency. Airbus did away with the stick and rudder in general to bring the Third World countries in to the 20th century transport world.
Boeing has been since its inception a leader in innovation of flight. As an Engineer I would believe working for Bowing would be more fulfilling and a better chance at learning and extending your career than with Airbus. OF course this is only my opinion. They are both good companies making good products to fit markets they wish to fill.
Given a choice of which aircraft to fly I will always opt for a flight with Boeing equipment over all others.
