I'll say "cattle," you say "car." "Cattle"..."Car"..."Cattle car"
Now in unison, let's all say...
mmmooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I'll believe the "boarding more passengers in a shorter amount of time" when I see it. But, as a Boeing shareholder and American citizen, it pains me to see US flag carriers such as US put thier trust in Airbus. Just about every Airbus airframe has been developed and marketed at heavy Euro government subsidies.
I guess since US Airways expects the fed (read that to mean you and I) to bail them out when they run out of operating cash, buying from a European supplier is par for the course. Steve Wolf and company never cease to amaze me, even in the land of Bank of America and First Union!
