The EMB 195LR is also a flagship (8 currently in my fleet) for our short haul flights. It carries less pax than id like it to definetly, but it does a superior job of moving people at quick speeds and relatively short turn around times.

You have to understand that 30 planes + 10% delivered, plus each airline can only have 2 planes from each manufacturer delivered per month. So unless you calculated that to be 22 months, chances are, your plane is coming in much less than 22 months.

Oh, and by the way, the line is now 27 months long, but by the looks of it, in one month, Airbus will deliver at least 80 planes. (actually, the order book doesn't account for the new 30 plane rule, so it would be 18 months)

[WingsOTWorld]

Yeah...cause dont they use the "old" 20 airplane rule?

With the number of multiple orders on the Airbus line, your jet will be here quite soon. The A319 has slightly (and I mean very slightly) better costs than the 73G.

[WingsOTWorld]

Not really...it still takes a week to get an Airbus delivered, even with those multiple orders. but the Airbuses do have the adv over boeing in op costs unless you progress to the A340s....but in the A319 vs 736 case, the A319 has better op costs and holds a few more people.

the 736 as well as the 717 are poor choices, same for the 318.

Comparing the 319 to the 737, the advantages of the 319 are so small that the earlier delivery time for the 737 trumps the operating savings.

Thanks for reminding us of that disclaimer Bushey...i kinda forgot that..lol

[WingsOTWorld]

One: it's not necessary.
Two: It pertains to last round. Stategies can always change.

Pretty ignorant ot sight lines
Fact is the popularity with A319's, the 2 limit causes the wait to jump much quicker and I get themin 3 months or less. B on the other hand has lots of smaller and less numered orders for the most part and 9 months really turns to be 4 to 6.

73G though is a good A/C in my opinion

[VC-10]

Other way round I think, with the 737-700 scoring just a tiny bit more than the A319 all in....but it seats more.

[WingsOTWorld]

The 73G series are superb in what they do...just not the -600 or -700

Least in my opinion.

[Alex_Stankevitch]

Well if its the 737-700 vs the A319, id say the A319 but from there id say B738s and B739s.

[WingsOTWorld]

I second that.

[Alex_Stankevitch]

Hey, thats the way im working

[dazwalsh]

737-700 and then onto 757-200 then a330-300...perfect jet fleet!

oh and the sexiest..!

[WingsOTWorld]

Heh...you wish....
