Does anyone know if the systems val had the md90 differences on it? A buddy of mine said when he went through they weren't part of the test.

Thanks

That was about 10 pages back. :D

No 90 stuff on the val when I went through 4 months ago.

Took the standard 24 hours for the "unofficial" apologists to consult and confer with Our Gang in the Little Rascals clubhouse as how to best handwave and spread the pixie dust.

SOP

Nu

Which was about 12 hours after the Regardless Of The Announcement, I'm Getting Screwed! gang put down their mugs of Oceanspray Cran-Bile to type out their laments.

That is worth a good laugh.

Never mind...........

SOP was your superficial analysis. Trend vectors and all. Next time take a deep breath before doing your best chicken little imitation.

I appreciate Alfa's much more credible analysis.

I took a gander at the bid monitor report and noticed that not only do we require more pilots this year than last, but that our monthly credit time is also on the rise even though we have fewer aircraft.

Bazzzzinnnggg! :D:p:)

Airbus to increase A330 production rate to ten a month

Unprecedented demand for Airbus’ best-selling long range aircraft family
3 February 2011 Press Release

Airbus has decided to raise the production rate for its A330 Family to ten aircraft a month from the second quarter of 2013.

Currently Airbus turns out eight A330 Family aircraft each month. This monthly rate will increase to nine in early 2012, before reaching rate ten in the second quarter of 2013.

“We are increasing the production rate for the A330 Family due to the strong market demand for the aircraft,” said Tom Williams, Airbus’ Executive Vice President Programmes. “In the long-range, mid-size category, the A330 is the right aircraft for airlines worldwide”.

The A330 is not only a bestseller as a passenger airliner but also as a Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft, as a VIP aircraft and also as a freighter.

The A330 MRTT achieved civil and military certification in 2010. Currently five are flying with a further four undergoing conversion. Delivery of the first two aircraft to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is in the final stages. It is planned to deliver five A330 MRTTs to three customers in the course of this year.

2010 has also seen five deliveries of the brand new freighter variant to three customers as a first step towards satisfying a market of some 400 new build mid-size freighters over the next 20 years.

The reliable and efficient A330 is one of the most widely used widebody aircraft in service today, with one taking off each minute every day. To date, Airbus has won over 1,100 orders for the different models of the aircraft. Some 750 A330s have already been delivered and the aircraft is currently flying with 90 operators worldwide in 50 countries.
