I was aware that there were plans to accelerate the number of widebody aircraft on the property over the next 4 years. The accelerated A330 deliveries were not going to hit the target I was told about. The second part is close. There may yet be a third part but that is in flux at the moment. You can figure that part out from recent EB comments.

I’ve deadheaded on the 330. Went up and checked out the cockpit. Also got a chance to fly a 350 sim for a few minutes. It’s nice. I just think going to an Airbus would be a hard transition at my age.

Interesting that with all of this "International growth" that we always seem to fly the absolute minimums with regards to the JVs.

I just turned 61. Went to Airbus 330 school in May having never flown any Airbus. I love the airplane, the hardest part was learning the new box.

Understand that. I only had a few years of flying a Boeing before switching to Airbus. Flying and AP are simple, but as far as the box, I still do quite a few more clicks to get where I need to be. Not nearly as intuitive.
