Sorry Gandenburg but just can see the the A320 being apart of the deal. Why introduce yet another type into the fleet it will start to look more and more like AN. No spares, crews new sims, training dept the list just goes on. Its a furfy to get Boeing back to the table. A320 your dreamin. Who crews the 800's well thats any ones guess. I personally lean toward mainline still as I think AIPA will burn bridges to make sure that they will. But then again I thought that they were going to get A320's back when AN fell over. Something about where Qantas wanted their Jumbo's parked changed their minds.
Ozflyboy sorry but new recruits for skimpy, as for long haul hang in there as I see more slots in the future.
