AA 757's...could it be??

If this has truth to it, its a pretty dang ambitious growth program. Where they gonna find all that $$?

Sucks... I wish they'd just stick to an all Boeing fleet. I'll take a steam gauge "Boeing" Super 80 over a Eurotrash bus any day!

:laugh:

Whatever. Anyone who'd prefer the 80 over the 320 is a masochist.

I've flown both, and there's no comparison from a comfort or ease of flying standpoint.

Dude!

You got that right. I flew the A-320/319 for 6 months and HATED IT!

I also had the chance to fly the MD-80 on my "vacation" I hope you guys keep the 757's an A320 doesn't cut it anywhere close!

P.S. You buds got me home two days ago out of LAX....THANKS!

If it aint BOEING I aint going!

I have and its a piece of crap? Just my opinion though?

That's some superior reasoning there, Chief.

You've got me convinced.

why 320's and not 321's?

321 is the same wing (& gas) with a long fuselage. So more drag/payload and less range. The 319/320/321 all have the same wing and gas. In the winter, some airlines put 319s on transcons so they can make it. 320s a pretty good balance between the load and range. From what I understand, the 321 was one iteration too many without other needed changes.

Ahh, Gentlemen... Obviously, Sonny Crockett is a man of integrity and knowledge, and knows the real score.

The -80 is a PILOT's airplane... the 320 is a Flight Manager's wet dream.

P.S. My throttles move when the thrust changes...

Direct Law that!
