The true leader of the industry

What do Germans do for April Fool's Day?

Surrender to France.

That is why airbus is better than Boeing; there isn't much to do. There is no shame for an American to admit Airbus and France are leaders. Do not hesitate to submit your resume.

A 40 year Boing is still better quality than a 10 year old Airbus. I have worked on both and the Airbus's are junk. They are just cheap thats why we like them. But of course they are not cheap in the long run, but who cares.

Isn't that the same radar that you sold to Saddam, soon to be convicted war criminal and human rights violator? I wouldn't be take credit for that brilliant example of french foreign policy.

Since you're such a military buff, I happen to have a few french rifles for sale. They are in like new condition, never fired and only dropped once.

For what it's worth, Falcon Trijets give me a boner.

This is just too much fun!

Airbus is the plane that fits today's economy and airline needs. Like you said Boeings belong 40 years ago. A 40 year old Airbus is better than a 10 years old Airbus. Boeing is slowly catching up with the composit 787. It will be cheap and disposable, and finaly fair competion to Airbus. Other Boeing belong to the desert.

More like the radar we used to coordinate air support.

As one of you have already used for a signature...

"I would rather have the German army in front of me than the French army behind me"...General Patton.

 

[taters]

werent you kicked off from here last year???

anybody remember that french a$$hole that got the boot last year? this sounds like him, anybody rember that guys name....



hey french guy
how do you like licking your girls hairy armpits full of ciggarete ash?

 

[Camembert]

Why would I get kicked out? I was not on here last year. My apology if a French brother was being an a$$; we also get our share of those just like you do in the US.

I am just trying to express the truth about France and how I believe that it is the current leader of the aviation industry. Travel on Air France and you will see the difference. Because we make better airplanes doesn't make the US a bad place.

Air France may be a fine airline if you are lucky enough to fly on them on a day they chose not to strike. The management of my company refuses to fly on them for that reason...to strike or not today, any body's guess !!!

Air France strikes a lot, but still less that bagage handlers at CDG. Air France pilots strike in order to keep the best pay and contract in the industry to mirror their level of professionalism. Air France pilots are the best pilots of the industry and it is necessary for them to be compensated accordingly. In the US pilots accept paycuts and lose their benefits probably because they are not as good as Air France pilots. That is why if you come to work at Air France you will 1) be trained to be the best of the industy, 2) you will not race to the bottom and retain the compensation you are worth, and 3) you will be flying the best airplanes of the industry, the Airbus.

There would be no Air France if they had not learned to run a business in US build airplanes until about 15 years ago. The Lockheed Connie, the Boeing 707, and host of other US built airplanes made Air France what it is today. Did I not see in one of the aviation magazines that Air France just bought 15 777 cargo birds, how come?

What's the difference between an Airbus & a Homelite chainsaw?
600 trees per minute!

Thank you for your input. Boeings are good for cargo. Airbus aircraft are safer and more reliable therefore better for passenger service. In case of a problem, it is better to lose cargo than 200 lives. When an Airbus goes down it is usualy due to pilot error. When a Boeing goes down it is usualy due to mechanical failure. It is understandable that 15 years ago Air France got rid of the Boeings to replace them with Airbus aircraft for passenger service, for the safety and comfort of everyone.

:laugh::laugh:

Airbus are by far the most reliable, comfortable and cost effective airliners.

Is that why Airbus was giving cashbacks to the owners of the A340 because the 777 was kicking its a$$?

 

[pilotyip]

Camembert, Yea Boeing is good for cargo, because when you put a cargo door in them you can still close it. LOL. In addition, when Air France got rid of their 707's it was because every else had and they thought they would look funny flying an airplane no one else was. As the joke goes at DTW when NWA flies the last A-320 to the dessert, the crew will be picked up in a DC-9. Hey France is great, I love the good things like wine and cheese.

 

[Camembert]

The wine and cheese are another good reason to fly for Air France. Airbus gave cashback to its loyal customers for making the right decision and chosing them over Boeing. The 777 is an okay airplane, and there is no doubt that the 380 will kill the 777 and 747. Fedex and UPS understood it. Airbus just makes a better product. It is obvious that France and the rest of Europe are leaders, even Marine 1 is now a European helicopter and I wouldn't be surprised is Air Force one will soon be an A380. Japan is really the only big Boeing customer, and that's only because the Enola Gay was a Boeing.

en Ole gay

en Ole was a gay???

damn' Lena, En I thought Ole' was en straight as en arrow...

go figure, Ole you bad boye!!!

 

[Camembert]

Japan buys Boeings because they don't want to be nuked again by a Boeing, so they feel that if they buy them all there won't be any left to nuke them. Which is a good thing, because it allows the rest of the world to focus on the best, Airbus. I can forsee Air France buying a major US airline in the near future. The main reason will be because Air France flies Airbus and not Boeing. When that happen, you will see more Airbus flying over the US. France is truly the leader in this game and Air France will prove it. You should join before you are an unemployed Boeing pilot.

Why all the yea France stuff with the Airbus, it not most of the bus built someplace else, like the US, Germany, England, Spain, Italy, etc. and the France are only final assembly. Something anyone can do if they have the parts.

THe design is French, the engineers are French, the decisions are made in France, the CEO is French. The software used by Airbus and Dassault is French (KATIA) and was by the way also used by Boeing to design the 777. So you could say that the 777 is French too.

KATIA is CATIA by the way. Love the flap systems in the A-320, think they copied the flap design from Cessna on their 152's + 172's.

 

[Junkflyer]

So far the A-380 hasn't delivered on any of its promises. Its behind schedule, ovrweight, heavier, and less efficient than advertised. Not to mention they designed without body gear steering so it shreds tires. Of course thats what happens with French engineering when its not a copy of Boeing.

Coming from a Citabria typed student pilot it must be true.

Did the French invent the jet engine also?
