Obviously that 321 is going to require mad clock-watching skills.

Especially the small motored ones that have left me stranded in SLC twice while non reving on hot days!

Airbus, a foreign company, bad. Boeing, an American company, good. It's that simple.

Unfortunately, in the narrow-body scene, the foreign company is offering a much better family of airplanes -- for passengers and crews alike.

Excellent news to see another 30 NEOs added.

Every incremental order that goes NEO instead of MAX is a step in the right direction, and hopefully if an eventual MAX order did happen, it will at least then be this much smaller.

155 A321NEOs on the delivery schedule.

are you being serious??
you know Boeing has farmed out a lot of its production. I know a staggering number of the parts for the 787 are created overseas, and just assembled in America.

Airbus has a factory in America now as well.

Saw someone mention this, but wasn’t sure if they were serious or joking. Does the increased passenger weights negatively affect the NEO to the point where it won’t be able to make it to Hawaii?

you guys are worried about $10 an hour when the profession is still almost 20% behind inflation since 1980. Little league playing against the Yankees.

eh I wouldn't think so, etops 180 is what you need for PHNL and the islands. Now how many pax/cargo/ gas we can carry and still make climb performance out of the main land places we want to fly from is unknown.

normal A319s can make it no problem but I think they are capped to 90 seats or something like that out of LAX
