Does anyone know if they plan to phase them out? One of my favorite things about Dleta was their "all Boeing" class, which by far makes the superior planes. It makes sense that they only have to have one company maintaining their planes.
I'm sure that i am not the only one, but I have taken different routes just so that I don't have to fly on one of these when I get the chance.
Wishful thinking.
The A320's are probably history, over time.
The A330's will be around for a while and are a good alternative to 767 for long range international.
Anyone know fuel burn per hr for 767-300ER vs A330ER's?
