RE: The Boeing 757

Get a B757 pick taken recently in my local airport, sit back and relax you´re a bit altered. But please, give more reasonable arguements against Airbus. The ones given are a bit odd.

RE: The Boeing 757

Calling Airbus “rubbish” is indeed a peculiar and curious oppinion.

RE: Airplane accidents

Something stupid but old planes get old because they haven´t crashed. An old plane being checked is reliable and as safe as a modern one. And a modern model, whose performance hasn´t been well tested may have unpleasant surprises. Safety depends on maintenance and crew training and of course external factors as weather, orography and so on.

RE: Viva Air

Well hard and sad story. LH and IB founded Viva as a cooperation and initially a charter airline to take germans to the spanish coasts. They used B737-300 with a livery which resambled to painter Joan Miro ones. LH and IB had problems, germans where too strict for anarquic Iberia, so LH sold his stake to Iberia. Then Iberia didn´t know what to do with VIVA, initially as Iberia charter branch and then as a Low Cost (one of the first in Europe), so some Iberia flights and destinations which where no cost effective where transfered to VIVA. But Iberia pilots, were really upset their partners ar VIVA got more and more IB flights and complained. At the end and due that Iberia pilots do whatever they like and in a way rule the airline got what they wanted and closed VIVA and crews were integrated in Iberia. They also used DC-9 from Aviaco (domestic airline, bellonging to the same group as Iberia) for inter islands hops in the Canary Islands. I remember flying VIVA because they operated the flight from here SCQ to LGW and the service was spectacular and meals quite good. Crews were dressed in smart green and black clours and hat (like London bobbies). Great airline.
