Wow, where do I start with this?
When are you going to learn that this board cares nothing about foreign airlines?
These posters only care about a free holiday employee meals in places like ABE that nobody even knows exist.
I actually beg to differ. Granted foreign airlines do not put bread on the table for most of the readers of this board, but to say that no one cares is a bit of a stretch. I did not know Boeing or Airbus for that matter were considered airlines. I was merely posting information on end-of-year orders and the “race†(for lack of a better word) of these two fine companies to finish on top.
I gather you wouldn’t care about meals in ABE. Only the folks who will be in ABE over the holidays might care, but last I knew crews could discuss such things. It is an aviation board after all. BTW, if you don’t know where it is look it up. Call it a learning experience.
BTW, John Travolta pilots his personal Boeing 707 -- hardly an advertisment for the latest/greatest plane technology.
Besides, Qantas ain't exactly a market leader. They only buy big planes because of geography.
I never said that he was flying the latest and greatest equipment. I stated that John Travolta is Qantas ambassador-at-large nothing more. It was in the context of trying to figure out which way Qantas was going to go.
Please name an airline that does not buy “big planes†due to geography. The only reason I mentioned Qantas is because they are the last “big†order of the year.
China. Didja notice they bought 170 Airbus planes this past week??
Check post #3. At the time I posted the article the exact numbers were not out, so I apologize for confusing you.
And so on. Now back to important topics like scabs, uniforms, Doug's red carpet and anything EXCEPT the customer experience.
I enjoy the amount/diversification of the post in these forums. Granted some can get beaten to death twice over, but overall it goes with the flow of the general posters. If you have an issue with the customer experience, start a topic, post, or write the airline concerned. Post like this one was completely meaningless and riddled with inaccuracies.
I will keep posting
information of foreign/domestic airlines, aircraft makers, and anything I deem relevant to the issue at hand. What you do with that information is up to you or anyone else whom chooses to read.
