I agree... bring back the L1011's!!
The new generation of Airlines are absolute "POS". Even when I started in the cockpit back in 1973, aircraft were NEVER out of service as much as the new ones are. They are not better airplanes, just higher priced!!
That said, it depends on a) what the definition of 'better' is and b) who does the defining.
You and me started just about the same time, and if you think a little bit, it's not just airliners. Just look at cars and household appliances and now all the new technology gadgets that we have. All designed to be replaced rather than repaired.
I believe CHEAPLY BUILT is the operative word here but as you say, NOT CHEAPLY PRICED!

Hey Guys - Where are all the doom and gloom merchants about Airbus now??? Gone very quiet now that it is a Fly by Wire Boeing plane that is going up in unexplained smoke!!
The Boeing (aka McDonnell Douglas) AH-64 is fly-by-wire, and the pilots love it. Is there a major difference in how it works between a helicopter and a fixed-wing as far as reliability?
Park them and bring back the L1011's and MD11's from the desert until they fixed.
