😮

You can both eat my shorts too

have you any others proplems?

On a hot day a fully loaded A321 needs more runway than a fully loaded 757, FACT!

You check the schedules, ZB always send the 757 to GIB from MAN, the 321 cant operate in or out with a full load!

It must be really annoying for ZB becasue they are itching to become an all Airbus operator – ha ha ha

any scores?

nice

Please don’t start turning this into an AvB thread.

Yeah thats your job

I know full well of what has been said. My point is Leahy accused Boeing of lyingn thru their butts and sang the praises of Airbus. Naturally we expect this.

I’d like to see how he would react in an interview when someone asked him aboutn his comments at farnburough and how they contradict every word of what airbus are now saying.

Airbus sayt something about the A350 long time ago. A few years ago (in this time Boeing think the Sonic Cruiser will be the Future) Airbus say too after the A380 they will made a A300 replacement

I read about one year ago in the “Financial Times Deutschland” an article that Boeing had plans in a 717-Family and Lufthansa is very interested in that. Thanks to yahoo.de I found this article again and here is the interesting part, although it is first published 6.6.2003 :

“Chancen bei der Lufthansa
Boeing sieht mit einer künftigen 717-Familie auch die Chance, ältere kleinere 737-Versionen (-500/-300) mit 103 oder 123 Sitzen abzulösen. Die Lufthansa fliegt beispielsweise 65 Maschinen dieser Versionen, die zwischen 1986 und 1991 ausgeliefert wurden. Die 717 gilt mit ihren zwei von Rolls-Royce Deutschland gebauten BR715-Triebwerken als besonders umweltfreundlich und leise. Rund 40 Prozent des Flugzeugs wird in Europa gefertigt.”

I will give you a short translation of this article :

With a future 717-Family Boeing sees a chance to replace older and smaller 737-Versions (-500/-300) with 103 or 123 seats.
Lufthansa for example is flying 65 of these aircrafts all built between 1986 and 1991. The 717 with its 2 Rolly-Royce BR-715 engines which were built in Germany is supposed to be very ecologically and quiet. About 40 % of the plane is manufactured in Europe.

Why should Lufthansa buy a new aircraft familie?

The A335 is maybe a replacement for the A300

nice
