It’s too bad that’s too long to fit on a license plate frame. It would look SUPER cool in the employee parking lot.

I was thinking (737 SUX) would be a cool plate.

Stop whatever you are doing and go turn in your AA ID. Everyone knows Airbuses are flown by 30 year olds who wear backpacks and slim fit pants and preflight at night using their iPhone flashlight.

Lol.

I might’ve done that once. It was more dusk and mainly to check the brakes and wheel wells.

Back packs - No - But I do wish I was 30 and that I could fit into skinny pants!

What about a 20 year old flight attendant girlfriend?

Don’t forget the fact that those New Balance shoes have Velcro instead of laces....

Why did you title this like there is a form order?

The very first post in the topic is a question. It is posed as a question, not as a statement.

I am curious what people think of a possible order coming at the Farnborough air show or anytime in the near future. JetBlue placed an order for 60 A220’s following the announcement of the name change of the C series. Delta has an order for 75 C series, now A220’s. There are now 2 major US airlines with orders, so I wouldn’t be surprised if others followed. Airbus has a salesperson specifically for the A220, which will eventually go away in the future as orders increase by several hundred. Other Airbus aircraft don’t have a salesperson dedicated to one aircraft type so that alone shows how hard Airbus is going to push the sales of the aircraft in the near future.
