It seems like all the classes were Boeing, now all of a sudden they changed them to the Airbus, why? All the orders they are getting are Boeing and aren't taking any Airbus for a while
What are you smoking? We have been taking a new 380 almost every other month this year? The delivery hiatus was only on the 777. And that has ended now as well.
We're short on all fleets so they had to start hiring on the airbus eventually. Plus more A380 means more Captains needed there, so A330/340 Skippers are transitioning there, which in turn means long needed upgrades are happening there as well (They're at, what, 5 years now?). So, they finally need Bus F/O's. Btw, the current 380 F/O's get screwed.
But, however you spin the numbers, someone joining today looks at a 7-10 year upgrade, depending on future orders. As others have sufficiently pointed out, here and elsewhere, the current orders don't even upgrade everyone on board right now.
Might as well enjoy it on a fleet with lots of nice destinations and good roster variety.
