Hats are being eaten all over this forum tonight.
Well, it is 4 years late, and will do some hat eating if it's still around in 12 months and/or has sisters.
xr also chose an excellent engine choice with the IAE V2500 !
I doubt they had a choice, but the accountants will be happy, cheap piece of crap compared to CFM
I hope the XR engineer I spoke to was wrong about it requiring an undercarriage replacement soon $$$
One '93 model A320, hope XR got a massive spares kit with it, and whats the back up ? 2 x F100s ?
Back to drinking my 1/2 empty glass of beer
