LH replaces old 737s by Airbus A320 family </font>
Hear me now and believe me later: Much to my dismay, Airbus is heavily (!) subsidized by their various government owners. That translates into bigtime pressure on carriers like LH to "consider" buying Airbus over Boeing. I predict that within ten years or less, there will be no more Boeing metal at LH with the possible exception of the 744 (depending on how the A38X gets off the ground (pun intended)). Or does anyone here know of a good reason why LH never bought an 777. The A340? Give me a break...
