Wow. And at the same time that AA has decided to leave its all Boeing fleet behind it and has started to purchase Airbus, and as much as I love AA, I still won't be flying their AA Airbus.
I hope that Emirates training is up to par (they have a lot of US, Australian & British pilots AFAIK, but Cathay has a lot higher percentage?). In good hands, the Boeings allow are a lot more safety than the Airbus.
The 777-200LR, possibly with the exception of the 747-8, is the greatest passenger aircraft ever made. This is a nice move by Emirates, but I still won't be flying Emirates.
I guess you live at the airport, since driving to the airport is a lot more dangerous than those Airbus aircraft that are a lot less safe.
