In recurrent this past week R.D. Told us starting in March the A320 deliveries will come with sharklets. Also I believe he said the last two A320s have the new wing boxes on the tips and would be an easy and fairly inexpensive conversion. Would be changed to sharklets most likely in the future. Deliveries before that did not and would probably remain old airbus winglets. Fwiw...

Is there a big range/consumption/TO-LNDG performance difference with the current ones we have?

Mine works ok so I don't think it's on their end. Did you try compatibility mode (if you are using IE)?

Airbus claims fuel consumption savings of 3.5%, extended range (100nm) and increased carry capacity. Airbus' tests were with CFM engines, I'm sure they'd be the same with IAE engines.

An extremely popular add-on it seems as most Airbus operators seem to want them.

Attended the job fair in Vegas and the ball is rolling now. Finished assessment test on Wednesday (1/23). Now just waiting. Job fair is the ticket. Thanks for the advise....
