Not 100% sure on that. They've just reconfigured the whole A320 fleet for internationals. It would be a costly exercise to yet again retrofit them back to domestic standard.

Any aircraft that "argues back" is a worry.
What will happen to these "electric/plastic fantastics" when the components age and become less reliable makes me shudder.

Four or more plus yoke please! smile.gif

Remember the 50-50-90 rule. Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong!

I was very, very dissapointed to hear the news. Ohh well, I'll turn my career attention to QANTAS I guess...

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

Prototype 707 .. the first of its type ... lets see what it can do .. Barrel Roll over Pugent Sound ......... WOW

Prototype 320 .. lets Beat Boeing ... Whoops CRASH ( umm we turned the computer off ) ? .............. WOW

Airbus will have its day , Fact is general Joe blow public have no say , ... to many hidden lies , coffers and cheats ..

Actually to be honest, I don't really mind anymore.

Just did a flight from CH to AA NZ500 (like Alister suggested) and it was quite fun. 100% in FSpassenger book,(but overall "horrible" because I accidentally stalled (wasn't the A320's fault! biggrin.gif )) I'm the looks are growing on me. In fact I might retire all my AI ANZ B733 and replace them with 320's rigt now smile.gif

Just waiting for Airsimmer's extreme version or what ever it is and I'll be set. Might even get me back onto Vatsim.
