At least this thread is interesting again. I'd rather hear about new airplanes any day than hear more squawking about DALPA vs. DPA.

FWIW, I'd much rather see an Airbus order myself. Boeing has milked the "most successful" commercial aircraft for a little too long in my opinion.

Any aircraft that requires TWO tailstrike indicators has been stretched just a little too much (Plus the Airbus cockpit is WAAAAY more comfortable)
