A346 problem?

i have been hearing a lot of complain about the a340-600 with CX (i.e. first w/ da nose gear, then small problem keep occured, causing FL delay or cancel, da most recent one was about da A/C, it was incrop - result, after 2 hrs of fixing, FL cancelled), I wonder if anyone 346 guys here who may share some info/experience about it? Thanks.....

Yeh u man, cos I think any Dude does da HKG jet jockey licence man, he not talk like da kool kat Ali G. Not u's cabin crew. So's I think u's a pullin' our leg. So tell us what u's heard about da 600 n why u'sa think it not a cool plane man? It cool, 'n it cut like real sexy thru da sky, so what yore problem w'it? Like we gotta worry bigtime dat Airbus can't get der design of refridgerators rite? Like ground da fleet man! You gotta work in da Hong Kong massif to stop people gettin hurt by de rampant Airbus refridgerators. Not cool at all! Like da cabin crew keep their moisturisers and KYjelly cool der man, and dat Hong Kong heat spoil em.
We gotta make da plane incrop wi' no more delay! Yo' da man!

Not So, you all made sense to me!!!!!!!!

As for Iwong, this has got to be a joke or the press after a story to rubbish the A346!

Only issue on the aircraft is the galley chiller system, guess what just had a big mod to sort it out!!!!!

I think you will find the despatch reliability of the A346 to be quite good, especially when you consider the proportion of new design features over the "classis" A340.

sorry guys.....

i think i have misleaded or mispresented about what i intended to express somehow, 1st of all, i never mean da 346 isn't a nice A/C, in fact, i never heard any complain from my ex-colleague (who flies 346 now) about this A/C and because i am not flying Airbus, that's the reason why I post my q up to da forum. What i wonder was how come those 3 346 CX has seems gotta many problems, although those problems i heard weren't from da cockpit crew but from da cabin crew, it surely did affect da flight schedule. In addition, will anyone willing to spare their valuable time to give me a bit hints about da different between da -600 and da "classis" 340 beside da new LCD display?

Can people please write in English, not in slang terms that will exclude many of the readers or in the sort of language that my daughter uses to text her friends?

Iwong, the list is rather long. The LCD flightdeck, along with LED's for switchlights is also fitted to new build A330/340's.

Your friend should have been given a summary of tech differences that would be easier to have a read through.

As for the cabin crew, complaints directed primarily at the galley chiller system. This is much the same as fitted to VS aircraft and gives them as many problems.
