China always used plane purchase as a bargain chip. Once the Trade War started, Boeing is in trouble. I like 737 Max, but really it hasn't aged as well as A320 family.

Its sad to see Airbus is able to just say "No" to a problem Airbus perceived as trivial...

One of the biggest challenges of supersonic airline is the engines. Really Tu-144 biggest failure is those terrible engines compared to Concord's Olympus 593. No engine, no plane.

Wait until they need to transport something big that only fits through a 747 nose door or something like a An-124.

Airbus behaving like certain a Tech company also with name started with "A"... Remember "you are holding the phone wrong"? This kind of anti-consumer behavior is quite dangerous for consumers, especially in monopoly or duopoly markets.

Shows you how lax US gun control truly are. I don't against having personal firearms but compare to other country such as Sweden and Switzerland, US gun laws are lax at about who can have and keep guns...

Well C-5 aren't being used to fly revenue flight as well. An-124 used to fly cargo to far east from Moscow to Siberia. The biggest motivation probably is An-124 depends on parts made in Ukraine, and after the war they will never get them. Plus An-124 and IL-76 are really old designs... sooner or later they will build a new plane like more modern C-17 and Chinese Y-20

Not familiar with Vueling but I guess they are just contracted pilots, not like ones hired in bigger airlines. What I am saying is they don't really value the employment, or usually fly cargo instead of passengers...Still a shitty move.
