RE: Airbus V Boeing: Radio 4 17 Jan

Oh and I'll bet the Boeing guy will start calling the Airbus guy filthy names and they will get into a fist fight and someone will have to call the police to break it up.

There won't be a fight. The bigger Airbus guy won't be able to catch the faster Boeing guy.

RE: A318-B717-736-Can They Compete With RJ's?

The 717 can currently not even compete with the F100 (just look to American). How do you think they are ever going to be able to compete against next generation RJ's? They can't compete at AA because of the HUGE lease payments! The F100's are paid for. Surely you don't mean that the F100 is m...

RE: American Will Retire 717s

In other words, they're going to keep the paid for P.O.S. Fokkers. Well, you can't argue with that. While the F100's aren't as efficient as the 717, they are paid for.

Oh well. It's not like they're going to be scrapped. However, it certainly doesn't help keep 717 production alive.

RE: Pilot Arrested

Ok, the only thing i can say is WTF!!
The US Air pilot aparantly pointed out (quite seriously, it seems) that he COULD just crash the plane, rather than using nail clippers in some kind of hijack. It's true. What's wrong with that?

My point exactly.
