Call him out on it. Will you see him again? Ask specifics, how they plan on circumventing the recall policy, how they will have guys pay to be in a seat of an A/C AA doesn't operate. It'd be kind of funny to hear his responses  |
You know, the funny thing is, about a week or two ago there was a thread on a.net about how AA is looking into leasing A320s to replace the MD8X series gas chuggers.
Most of the stuff on the a.net forums is crap but every now and then they get one right. I remember when F9 announced the A319 order, that came out of left field big time.
If Airbus is looking to make a sale, any kind of sale, it may be a smart move for AA to get more fuel efficient airplanes on the cheap. Boeing seems to be kicking their butt again so maybe Airbus is going to be giving planes away again to keep up?
I give this virtually no chance of happening but at the same time it wouldn't shock me if A320s were to show up at AA gates...
