Most Advanced Airbus A330 Rolls Out of Paintshop in Delta Air Lines Livery
Just four months after entering the Final Assembly Line, and less than two months after its maiden flight, the first 242 tonne Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) variant of the A330 rolled out of the paintshop in Toulouse, France in Delta Air Lines livery.

BUY BOEING! Come on Delta....
Do I detect a distinct anti-Airbus community within this thread? If so, why is it that Airbus push Boeing to the limit in order to get sales?
How many Boeing airframes rely upon UK ( European origin ) Rolls Royce Engines for their new toys? How many European component builders supply Renton/Everett the plug ins, the windows and airframe essentials necessary to roll out a shiny new B787?
Frankly, it should never be a competition for sales and profit between the big two but co-operation in order to create the best possible aircraft for the job and for the comfort of and future bookings / sales revenue from passengers.
Embrear of Brasil, De Havilland of Canada, Sukhoi of Russia not to mention the newer builders from Asia, they create a segment aircraft for their specific needs.
Do Canadair build for China alone or for everyone with the ability to finance?
I am just curious why no US carrier has to date placed an order for the A380 whilst Emirates are 'Hoovering' up the production line and even planning to help produce a better aircraft to both add to and replace older models as and when necessary.
The big airports in the US receive the A380 willingly and I imagine they are sorry no US carrier is amongst them.
An A330 leaves a paint shop minus power plants, nothing unusual here in Europe, similar events occur in most if not all BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Mini, Maserati, Range Rover , Rolls Royce, Bentley, Skoda car plants, the cars are minus engines in order to prevent blemishes and offer a complete product for the customer.
Forgive me for being serious if you all were just being comedic but as a Brit, I feel irritated as much as you would if I were to trash Boeing in the same way!

None of the US airlines have purchased the A380 because they know there isn't a market for them. I mean come on, Airbus is thinking about cancelling the remaining A380s because of the lack of orders. They've been accepting orders since the mid to late 1990s, and they still haven't broke even on the project.
Now before I am accused of hating on Airbus, no US airline has ordered a 747-8i either. The US airlines know that there isn't a market for them. Boeing and Airbus have killed their own double-deckers with the 777 and A350, respectively. The double-decker is dead for all but cargo.

Way to go Delta. Buy American.
I reckon you write that on a China-made computer?
Actually typed it on a Dell. Keyboard probably made in China, though.
