Sure, a great plane and maybe one to wax poetic about, but let's not get carried away with safety comparisons, even the queen of the skies had engineering problems, some documented in human lives (latch cams that allowed cargo doors to open in flight, center fuel tank explosion). In the end, you'll probably get to your destination intact as a passenger in any Airbus or Boeing, just try to pick a new plane and a seasoned pilot, not the other way around.
