And the impressive flames out the back weren't really there. Ok, true that isn't an engine fire, but joe public won't know that... Wonder when they are going to replace some of these buckets of bolts. Our new for old 330 replacement program should be over soon, maybe we can find some older 320s too! Even better, we might find some older 321s!
Jokes aside, surely it wont take too many public examples of these old jets falling apart before someone starts to look at replacing them surely? It seems to be the only time we do something is when we are shamed into doing it unfortunately. 'shark fin banning, airframe replacement, but at least they will look smashing in their new paint jobs!!!
We do need a freshen up, true, but for a paint job, and a crap one at that to be 10 years in the making, wohooo! Not to mention we get red ties! Do cx get green ones?!
Company is already patting crew on the back for a job well done, good work!
