I hope they keep their Channel 9 on inflight entertainment systems on all these new planes. That's the only entertainment I need on flight!
Thanks guys.You're knowledge of airlines and fleet is super. Enjoy reading your ccomments.
Boeing must take the United CEO to a nicer golf course than Airbus did
After United went through all that trouble to rid itself of 737s in favor of 320s it looks like their Continental family has convinced them to revert back to Boeing. Given that United (Continental) only had 43 737s whereas the bulk of United's fleet are the 320s, I wonder what really happened.
Dump the Buses....Buy the Boeings...UA should have kept their 737-300s and 500s....
Why? They would've become old and most people might not want to fly on a plane that would get very poor fuel efficiency
I doubt that most people really give a crap about flying on a plane that is fuel efficient. Most people want to get from point A to point B safely, and the 737-300s and -500s (and many other "older" planes) are still very capable so doing so.
You are correct that people probably don't, BUT, folks that owns them planes can make more money if thay can get from Point A to B costing less
