RE: New Group Opposes Boeing Tanker Lease

OA340,

Airbus did indeed express interest in bidding for the tanker contract (using the A330-200 and more U.S. based assembly), but I don't think it was ever evaluated, since there was no bidding. The contract was always intended for Boeing.

RE: Aeroflot, 777 > 767. When?

The lease payments on the 777's were probably too high for them, and they may also have unable to sell enough seats to make them worthwhile.

Many airlines that fly both the 737/757 and A320 use the same seats (or seat width) for both, thus the aisle is a bit wider on the A320 series. Quite nice IMO. At least that seemed to be the case when a flew UA A320's a while back.
