Hawaiian goes Airbus, orders 24

[HAL]

It looks like more growth, and a new aircraft type. 12 firm - 6 330's and 6 350's, and the same number of options. Deliveries start in 2012. It's also likely we will be leasing some more 330's, as soon as 2009.

Congrats!

You'll have to learn how to "monitor" the airplane instead of flying it. Congrats on the growth.

Don't worry, I taught HAL everything he needs to know about flying an Airbus

Not suprised you were the one to say what you did. Have you ever flown any Airbus equiptment? The old Boeing vs. Airbus argument is boring and childish, what does it matter what type they are getting? You should be carefull when you get off your high horse, you might step in something you don't like.

Don't be so sensitive Grandpa. He was being his sarcastic self. Everyone knows the Airbus is a computer GEEK'S dream. Now, turn off your "stories" and go back to bed.

Great news about the growth Hawaiian dudes!

Boeing makes a pilot's aircraft. The Airbus just won't last, and the automation isn't safe unless it is in a controlled scenario.

If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going!

Son, I think you are on the wrong forum. You might be more at home on the regional or charter forum!

On airline pilot central it says that the most junior Captain was hired in 1991? Is this correct?

You know, some people just is ignant!

The Airbus is holding up quite well, plenty of older birds around (of course old is relative, since the first 320 started revenue flying in 1987) DHL and others still operate the A-300, AMR has -600R and UPS/FDX liked the bus so much, they got the production line extended.

As for your other comment, the safety record speaks for itself.

Oh well, carry on with your tirade, maybe you can bring up the airshow accident!

Wow, I didn't know I struck a nerve......Feel inadequate do ya? I think it is great they are expanding, and I was just taking a fun jab at airbus pilots like Dizel8. Have I ever flown an Airbus? Has ANYONE ever really FLOWN an Airbus?(besides the A300) I have sat up front on the jumpseat several times, and I thought it was as cool or cooler than the Millenium Falcon.....Happy now? Oooooh---I should be careful when I get off my high horse, or I might step in something I WON'T LIKE..... Shut up nerd. I can't believe I posted another post (on the road to 10k)to respond to you....Not worth it.

Old birds? How do you know? You guys keep selling your Airbi when they get 5 years old (and need MX that isn't covered in your secret Airbus deal). Also, Airbus just closed the A300 line with the last one going to Fedex.

No, I think that was targeted at you gramps. I think you need to get off your high horse, and watch for poop down below!
