Canyon Blue A380

My imagination is running...a Southwest A380 for those `high density' routes...naaaaa!

Tweek

PS. I heard they can `cattle car' the A380 to over 800 PAX.

I think that was Donnie Osmond hosting it...

 

[SWA GUY]

They shoulda rolled the sucker......

Vive la France!

Impressive plane.

Funniest comment is something that I heard this morning:

Upon arrival in Germany, the A380 French crew, surrendered peacefully.

It doesn't matter if you like Boeing or Airbus, the 380 is going to be around for a long time.

Im so embarassed by the anti-French rhetoric on this message board. No wonder the world thinks we are just stupid Americans! I thought professional pilots like us would have more respect and admiration for our industry! How sad!

Get over your bull**CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** and start respecting the aviation milestones that have been created! I for one could care less where the A380 is made, but it sure is a nice piece of engineering!

you might want to look into it a bit more about the fine engineering part

Someone once told me - " Never fly the 'A' model of anything."

 

[Huck]

I got it bid. Anybody else?


I figure, if it's 16 hour legs, I'm going to work about 4 days a month....

I'd love to fly it, but, out of principle, I ain't biddin' it until the pay rates are negotiated. Maybe I'm being a bit naive, but I figger the more guys they see slobberin' on each other to fly it, the less they might think they'll need to pay for it.

You should've been a ball player.
