Just curious, how many hours do you have in the Airbus? I've never flown it myself, so I really don't know anything about it.
Reason I'm asking is I bid it and am curious about different opinions.

Nifty. Hope Im still alive for the technology.

 

[LearLove]

F that. I say bring back the DC-3 and P-51.

Golf and acupuncture treatments? I'm not sure who's encharge of following industry trends over at Airbus, but stuffing as many pax into a cabin as possible is what the airlines want. Not a room devoted to a bar. At least here in the US.

Dan -

you'll like it - i was on the 737 for 17 years - been on the airbus for 10
but when you go to school on your 330 - just don't try to compare any system to a 767 - dump everything boeing
and one last thing - NEVER EVER let the computers try and think for you - and you'll never have a problem

It is a good thing then that they are targeting the market correctly because it has been a very long time since the US market has been buying airplanes in any significant numbers.

Probably no pilots, just computers with a $15 per hour Chinaman monitoring from the ground. And where's the piano bar? Showers?

The way air travel is going now, I think it'll be closer to a Russian freight train car.
