Back to the original subject of Cyprus Airways disposing of some of their A320's.
On Cypriot TV News a few weeks back, they were reporting that Cyprus Airways were looking to sell one or two of their A320's as the Airline was in a "cashflow crisis" (their words not mine). They had infact sold one of their aircraft for a reasonable sum. The sale of the A320's was possible by Cyprus Airways reducing their network and frequencies.
Can't comment on Boeing Vs Airbus, as a passenger I judge on seat pitch and service.
