Thumbs up Virgin America

If I were american, I would keep my eyes on Virgin America. 60 more Airbuses announced at Farnborough! ME is getting very tough despite huge profits for EK last fiscal year.

Grow up

385s,

Just FYI the A380 is in it's infancy. The planes I fly are heavy, and yes they burn a lot of fuel, and there's a reason for it. The undercarriage and wing is built for a 700 ton airframe. At...
