saw this on Discovery channel, this plane is gonna be awesome, i have to get on it once it's airborn. I also hear the ticketprices will be quite reasonable, i was afraid they were going to be on a Concorde level, but i don't think the flightcompanies can afford to sit that high in the tree anymore.

Even though its carrying more passengers I hear that the seats are bigger as well.
This will make it more comfortable for the longer flights in economy class

Intresting too is that not one USA airline has ordered a plane. This could be for two reasons. 1) They are all near bankrupt and do not have the money to introduce a new type of aircraft. 2) Political pressure [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

I wonder if bush will consider this plane a higher risk for terror attacks so then it will take more screening and hours to get everyone on the plane

But more importantly they have large US Government loans and don't dare under cut Boeing.
