I'm glad I saw this thread...I know which airlines to avoid. I am not going to take a job with anyone flying an airbus, that company is giong down hill and so is anyone in bed with them. I'll also never ride as a passenger on one. Call me crazy...let the flaming begin!

so you won't work for Fedex?

How about UPS?

so nothing bigger than a regional airline, eh?

as far as i know, all major, domestic, and flag carriers have airbuses in their fleets.

Last I checked, Continental and Alaska don't have any Airbuses...

Not CAL, but you make a good point. Airbus is down now but not any worse than Boeing was over the last 10 years.

The following major, domestic, and/or flag carriers do not fly airbus:

Delta Airlines
Southwest Airlines
Air Tran
Alaska Airlines
Continental Airlines
Midway Airlines

I guess SWA wasn't considered "major" for the initial post, but they have 37 737's coming in this year (more total than Delta).

Can't say that I would base a decision to fly/not fly for any particular airline simply based on Airbus in their fleet. Airbus/EADS is in trouble, but they will survive. The collective European socialist governments would never allow them to go under (and before anyone rolls in on that comment - yes, I know the US Gov't bails out companies on occasion also).

Now, all that being said...I just got the call from SWA and I will be glad to be flying Boeing.

Congrats!!! Say 'HI' to the former XJer's for me!!:D
