Huh, I had been informed by an Airbus pilot that the A380 had wingtip cameras, I guess Airbus said that once, and didn't pull through. As for the A380 incidents, the Air France crew was taxxing too fast, and didn't pay attention; its the pilot's responsibility to make sure his aircraft is safe, if part of his plane contacts something on the ground, that is stationary in these cases, he is at fault. As for the Airbus incident at Paris Air Show, hitting a building like that is unacceptable. The pilot needs to make sure his aircraft is safe, and must see to it that his route of taxxing is acceptable for the aircraft he's flying, and must make the necissary arrangements for the safety of his plane and passengers. That wing, once the wingtip has been torn off, looks like he clipped it with about 15ft of wing, and should have seen the impact coming, its unacceptable. And its true that many pilots like showing off the A380 factor, and its okay, as long as it doesn't get in the way of their piloting skill. As for Airbus being full of themselves, yes the are. They have the largest commercial airliner, an all fly-by-wire lineup, and all these things, so they're full of themselves. Boeing guys were proud with what they got, they don't have an all fly-by-wire fleet, they develop aircraft with their own money, and get stuff done without government subsidies and if anyone, Boeing should be full of themselves with all they've done on their own. Airbus could never have made the A380 without subsidies, or follow it with the A350, or even afford to have created the A320 the way they did.
