The joke in all this is saying the A330 is an "outdated" plane when in fact its one of the most technologically advanced aircrft in the skies today. I would also have to strongly disagree that the A330/340 are noiser than a boring, sorry Boeing, -----The 767 is prehistoric in comaprison to an Airbus A330!

Boeing is increasingly adpoting the build techniques and principals of Airbus..conceding Airbus are on the right track. If the world wide sales stats between the both don't convince you, nothing will I dare say.

I do however grant 11/10 to you LY flyers for loyalty to a product..it's quite admirable albeit debatable at times.
