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... |
It'd make more sense for AA to make a big order of NG 737-800's instead of A320's. As they already have the sims avail and wouldn't have to purchase them or crosstrain as they already have people and a training dept. knowledgeable about the 800's systems.
