Wow that thing is huge, it dwarfs the other planes. Still I would ride on it.

bundy 01-30-2004 05:35 PM

wow!
thats kind of exciting... i'd love to fly in that thing...

hell, i'd fly in anything to get overseas again...

i wouldn't fly in it mostly because it would probably be too expensive. kind of like when the concord was in service. i would have flown in one, but it was way too freaking expensive.

I'd sit in one.."fly in one too"

but truthfully, airbus can blow me. Damn europeans stealing american business :mad:

I have a hard time buying the two hour load time.

You'd be a juicier target for a terrorist attack though with those extra 400 people though, so you'd have a greater chance of being dead.

I'd love to fly in one of those! That would be sweet! But then, I'll fly in anything... just to fly in it... (what do you expect from an aerospace engineering student?)

i have no issue with the size or loading times of the plane...2 hours sounds like a lot, but hell, theres nothing to stop them from putting on another movie, or something similar. i wouldnt let that stop me.

i would avoid it if i could however...in my (pretty large) flying experience, ive generally found Boeing planes to be far more comfortable than Airbuses. i know that the interior layout is up to the airlines, not the manufactuers, but on every airline ive flown both on, the Boeing has always had more leg room, more TV screens etc etc.

I think it will flop though. too expensive for airports.

Sure, I'd fly it.

And as far as Airbus vs. Boeing, I prefer Airbus, or at least the ones in Frontier's fleet. 318's and 319's.

Sounds like a great idea if they had casinos on them and a bit more room for each passenger...Unfortunately, as others have pointed out, what will most likely happen is that the airlines will pack you in with as little space as possible as this is more profitable.

yeah awesome, you won't even have to look outside your whole flight! Who wants to see all that scenery anway?

mrdeath400 02-02-2004 01:46 PM

Hey as long as it flies, I don't care one way or another

HockeyGuy 02-02-2004 04:11 PM

I'd be in for flying it... I realyl enjoy flying with the exception of the smell thats on you once you leave the plane! Yes no problems here!
