I did "bounces" down at the Airbus facility in Miami once, and their sim was both. It was just a quick few minutes for the MX guys to swap out 2 for 4 thrust levers and away ya went.
Sounds like it would be an easy transition.......BUT WHEREZ THE BUNK????

Reference comments made in a certain published notes about bridge aircraft. Common type with 330, very short differences course for current 330 pilots if flown as common category, TVM of a cheap acquisition for short term (<10 yrs) makes up for a lot of other factors, and excellent metrics for long haul capacity. 840K MTOW, 375 dual class, 7900nm range for damn near free? That buys a lot of gas and creates a lot of revenue and the aircraft are still very comfy and would sync with other Airbus WB customer premium expectations easily. Recall RA is very fond of used proven airframes at bargain prices. We need added long haul capacity yesterday.
What would your opinion be of biting off on a common category with the 330 to streamline the acquisition and training costs to quickly get close to 20 additional WB's in the fleet and the benefit to the pilot group?

Still, it's like that time in between buying a lottery ticket and when they announce the numbers. I can fantasize about the future.

Maybe because Virgin bought them new, and their payments on them are really high, and their margins are to skinny to make it work. For the right price, in the right markets, who knows? Do you know why the DC-9's lasted so long? Answer: because they were paid for.

T is just torqued off that Richard didn't trust him with this info first, and that you scooped the rumor. And that it isn't a Boeing.
Although I, on the other hand want to believe this rumor, facts and figures notwithstanding, just because it means more big iron.
I'm sure I'm the idiot on this one.
