As a British citizen and we are part of the airbus group I think that this is good news instead of boeing winning every order.
But as far as UK charter airlines this is still made up of moslty Boeing aircraft, who do you think will break this with an order that will replace there fleet to a total Airbus design?. My thoughts are on the TUI group as I would think that the whole BY fleet will be replaced with 320/321 and 330 for long haul.

OK, I’m going to get shot for this but please don’t wish for another UK charter to go for the 320/321 and A330 for long haul. I say keep the 767’s & do them up like FCA is doing or better still be the first charter airline to order 777’s :D.

I believe it says that FCA’s premium cabin is 36″ pitch so that would beat Monarch I’m afrain Düsseldwarf.

I don’t know. It seems to happen all the time on A.net. “My brother’s girlfriend’s dog’s cat’s goldfish told me so it must be true!” is the way lots of threads there go.

Looks like the usual A.net factless rumours

Hee hee and the next time someone complains about the misuse of precious bandwidth, they could claw a heck of a lot back by deleting that entire forum. 😀

LMAO! There is a load of cr*p there! That’s somewhere where moderation is needed if ever I saw it.

Regarding trip reports, I don’t know where else they should be put. They certainly have nothing to do with military or general aviation and if you were to put them in the general discussion section they would get overrrun with the useless comments and “discussions” that go on in there all the time. At least they are related to commercial aviation and also, it allows people to express their views of airlines so that others can get an idea what to expect.

Where do you suggest we put them?

indeed 😀

I personaly haven’t overheard anyone complaining on a flight but If I should, I’d be the first person the lecture them on the “behinds the scenes” aspects of the job, ie the stress hiding behind that smile on the F/A’s face.

I would agree with that Sandy. That’s why it annoys me so much when people get really angry about delays. Most of the time there’s absolutely nothing more the airline or staff can do. They are trying their best to get the flight out as soon as possible and people just hurl abuse at them. I too always make a point of thanking the crew when I leave the aircraft as they definitely deserve more recognition than they get.
