Makes sense from a financial point of view.

!!! I was hoping they wouldnt take that route....the French are taking over..........(no offence to all Airbus fanboys )

Now we really need airsimmer to hurry up with that airbus !

I noticed this line in the article

At list prices, the cost of the 14 aircraft is in excess of US$1 billion[/quote]
"List price" ??? That sent me scurrying to the airbus website but alas, no secure e-store - so much for ordering an airbus online, and I'm blowed if I'm going to email them my visa number. Probably just as well, shipping would cost a bundle

Hahaha , I can smell Uranium on your breath ! , Rainbow Warrior Bombing has no stink! , ...... Guess the US of A needs to put the USS Pintado and USS California with the USS Long Beach back into Auckland harbour , knock a few Devonport ferries around and we will get our Boeing's back

I also think it's a pity, especially as the larger aircraft in the ANZ fleet are Boeings (for now anyway )... wonder what Boeing had to say about this decision?

There's just something about the Boeing 737 that the Airbus A320 doesn't have.

First of all B should work hard to make DreamLiner from current DreamTaxer, not talking about desicions made.
A320 can use container to load pax baggage, and if u can train ground stuff, it can be faster than manual loading/unloading of separate bags.
A lot of people complaining about, that NZ techops is not happy with A320, but almost everyone in the world are happy with that, so maybe problem not in A320, but techops?

Pacific Blue's latest advertising doesn't exactly make me want to fly with them either . I'm off to Chch next month... let a family member make my booking along with their's and they chose Jetstar. ... don't know out of all the airlines to choose from, which is worse

Only upside sim wise is that in FSX the default Airbus can track the glideslope

Cool, was hoping we would have some 737NG in the ANZ livery later on but what can you do. Sad to see the Classic 737s going, but for my A320s! I can live with that.

I love how some people are so against one or the other.. From a passenger's perspective good luck finding any huge differences.

You do make a valid point there. Im thinking more along the lines of many years down the track..."if im to fly for ANZ i really dont want to be flying an Airbus" Given any ATPL pilot would be stoked flying any commercial airliner but im being truthful in saying "Airbus.....? you wouldn't have a spare Boeing on hand would ya?"

[larral1123]

I flew On an Airbus A320 once
it sounded like it was going to fall apart
All well Airbus airplanes Are not bad I just have a strong dislike For the Company (I dont know Why)
Like peppermint said
I will be sad to see 737-300s Go

Make sure you take your own PC as a back up in case the Airbus' system goes down ... oh, and a parachute too.

I don't have any Airbus in my FSX hanger and never will.
