QUOTE: Ag2A320 "Well Ladies & Gents,
The current Bus line:- A320/A321, A340-300 are a bunch of bloody optimised gliders!;no climb performance or extra power, Airbus forgot the power and went for fuel efficiency; forever stuck in the 320 bumping around in the tops at FL 390 while 737-700s are above in the clear at FL410 ARGhhh!."
You made it to 390 in a 320? What were you carrying, ping pong balls or did you have a tow-plane to get you up there?
