Is United getting funds from the U.S. government?
Some of Easyjets aircraft have been purchased by Allegiant to bleed of the MD-80 series. Aircraft have been maintained by SR Technics over the years from Malta location
Great. Who wants to pile onto an old 319 to get yelled at by the flight attendants. United can keep that old fleet. I'll fly new 737s on Southwest. United....go to H..l!
Or find out they sold the seat out from under you
CS 100/300 Boeing missed out due to greed. Airbus got the right idea.
The option was for United to buy more 737-900, an airplane the has poor performance. It can have tail scrapes on takeoff and you must land at 160 knots to keep in in the air, and now Boeing is go to this plane stretch it to the 10 version. It takes forever to takeoff and to climb out of weather, and then only has initial altitude of 320 or 340, Boeing should be ashamed that this is the best they could do. Boeing had the market and lost it, they will be in the business text books along with other flops like Kodak, Xerox, IBM and New Coke. I was a big Boeing fan but the Airbus is more comfortable so if you going bounce in weather I rather be in a better seat.
