His imagination?

 

Highest paid! While most other airplanes pay less than our peers.

 

People involved in the program. You can also do a google search. Airbus has been counting on a major far east order which has not come in part because of the performance issues. It burns more gas short haul then the CEO version due to the weight increase. I also did not say it won't be built, I stated it might not go into production. Depends on the status of existing orders and new orders. Currently there are only 120 orders give to take that are considered solid and 175 total.
Here is the big issue:
Perhaps more interesting at this first analysis is the decline in fuel efficiency gain when shorter ranges are flown. We have a decline of 20%-30% from 4,000nm to 1,000nm. We can thereby conclude that Kiran Rao, Airbus EVP of Strategy and Marketing, meant something else with the quote “for 2-3 hour missions, the A330ceos are still more efficient than a neo,” (from this discussion with Aviation Week).

 

You seem to be confusing forum rumors with company documents. Overall the companies fleetplan has tracked as they have put out at roadshows. Some equipment has changed but the plan itself has gone almost exactly as forecast other then retaining more 757's which is a good thing.
The C series is in production and in service. I suspect we will get them. If not another airframe will be purchased but the basic fleet plan will stay the same.
Go back and look at the predicted fleet numbers when contract 2012 was signed. Spot on other then additional 757's.

 

The only thing that was rumor was the 777s and it was a rumor because our CEO at the time said the market for those was drastically coming down and then he bought one for parts. Not really forum stuff. Reality, but whatever.

 

Yeah, but imagine how many non-revs we can move to the back of the plane with that baby! It would be a dream come true for ACS.

Scoop

 

So, about the 330NEO not being produced... it's fitting this was taken today.

 

That is clearly an F17 Q- bird "Quiet Glider."

 

It's actually going to fly soon. That does not mean going into full scale production. Again however I simply mentioned there was discussion about alternatives if Airbus elects not to go forward. It's sales have been a disaster after the initial flurry of orders. Most seem to be opting for the A350. There has however been a general glut in widebody orders. Unless your mission is for flights over 3000 miles there is not much point in ordering it over the CEO 330.

 

Jubuuzzzz proofread. What's with all the CEO's????? 😆😆😆😆😆
