Missy,

You have such a juxtaposed argument, you initially said:
avoid booking on short haul domestic A330 flights (e.g. Sydney-Melbourne) for the first 6 months
Indicating a temporary delay (to which I've already replied, there will be minimal early on delay with the A330). Now you say:
The pushbacks I were referring to are not the physical length of them but the time. Just compare the time for a B737 to pushback and request taxi to a Classic B747.
Is the time length of a pushback going to decrease over a 6 months period? And yes, ofcourse there will be a time difference in the situation you described (albeit a matter of minutes)! But it has nothing to do with your argument! I don't see what your point is by warning people to NOT fly a new aircraft type in a fleet, it's absurdist.

Pfft I'm over it now....
