Doesn't the title look too small on this aircraft, in relative/ratio comparison to other fleet members?

Add to this fact that Airbus will make early deliveries to GF of 3 A330's as well. Predicted to start in January 2009.
Sounds good!

Sorry Albergineman, but my info says that the A330s are not new. In fact, they are ex-ME Airlines and are about 5 years old. Still, that is still practically new compared to the other GF planes.

So MEA's 330s are heading going to GF!! This is what i call news
In fact MEA just received the first of four new 330s from Airbus, these are purchases instead of the 3 on lease from ILFC.
I can tell you those planes are Nice :ok: and in a good technical shape:ok:

the fact of the matter is:
no one cares about the technical health of the aircraft. (as long as it doesn't break down and delay their flight). ignorance is bliss.
the only things passengers care about are:
a) on time departure,
b) good in-flight entertainment, (like ey, ek, qr ie: the COMPETITORS!!!!)
c) value for money of their ticket.
that is all!!!!
gf maybe scores 1 out of 4 in this regard.
a long way to go. if anyone thinks this can be accomplished by making sure the office staff goes to work on time better think again.
is the aircrafts wet or dry lease cause i saw a pic with canadian registration.

No problem boilermaker, what matter is airplanes are coming and in a resonable condition! As we have had seen since then, things are becoming better slowly, but they are...

Last I heard, 737's leave in October, but I certainly wouldn't hold my breath about the A340's.

I'll bet BD 1 that the aircraft will be registered as "A9C-EV" :ok:
