Im not getting into an Airbus verus Boeing war but i was merly commenting on what was said in the most recent issue of Airliner World magazine.
Since when did overall costs of pilot training, maint., and everything else the bean counters take into account not matter. Airlines dont just buy a plane on account of Airbus offering a bit off the price tag they spend weeks and months researching what fits their operation best.
When Boeing started the 737 line i would bet all i own on them offering money off to try and get customers to choose their product, even when it was to a certain extent in a monopoly as it had very very few rivals.
Once again sandy you only ever look through your rose tinted glasses at what you want to believe and dont take into account the fuller picture of the big bad world. Your definetly off the christmas card list now!
During my writing of this post Sandy edited his post from
“its overtaking the 737 in orders… due it its heavily discounted price”
to the above. My comments are based on his first post.
Sitting on stand at Dublin

EI-DCJ onstand at Stansted. This plane was operating the flight to Dublin before ours and when we arrived at Dublin EI-DCJ was pushing back for a German destination i think.
