787 Pics

Well maybe you should look in the mirror.

That response is along the lines of "I know you are, but what am I?

when is the next 787 due to arrive in the fleet?

Don't know...but I bet you can watch here for pictures of it.  And, I also bet it looks EXACTLY like the pics of the AA 787 already posted here  (which pretty much looks like very other damn airplane on the property.)

So what?  We're getting A321 deliveries all the time.  Why not post those itineraries?  Where are the pictures of those airplanes?  Are you going to do this for each 787 delivery over the next few years?

Because Boeing planes are real aircraft not tinker toys like Airbus aircraft .

I cut my teeth on Boeings with the KC-135 (and even a little bit of KC-97!)   Have type ratings (and commensurate Part 121 captain time)  in the 727, 737, 757 and 767.  Airbus is going to have Boeing for lunch.  Bet on it.

tex  as a ramper  I always loved the 72   enjoyed the 57 when they had the moveable bins   now a days  give me a bus over the 73 any day       I personally think the 787 is nifty lookin bird as is the A350

Let's see an Airbus airframe hit the San Francisco sea wall and almost every one survives. Not going to happen in an Airbus fuselage with popsicle stringers. We've hade our 319's for about a year and can't keep the doors from falling off.

Care to rephrase that?

 

[nycbusdriver]

At any rate, we can get into a limitless pissing contest over which airplanes survived what.  (I think an A320 did very well in the Hudson River.)  
 
The Airbus aircraft meet every engineering parameter required by the certification process.  You will never know if that had been an A330 in SFO whether there would have been the same result.  Unless you have at least a Master Degree in Aerospace Engineering (from other than DeVry Tech), your opinion on the integrity of airliners is just that.  Opinion.

Lol, yeah 2 A319 pax doors and 1 777-300 pax door have been victims of those jet-bridges in the last 6 months.

Yea NYC, just a little speed tape and a sign-off and good to go. View attachment 10606

Really?

The Airbus is a fine aircraft. I have worked on the A320 family since it was originally delivered and it stands up to all others. Do I like the 757 better? Yes. But that is the nationalistic side of me talking, not the mechanic.

Do you call your fries "freedom fries"?

have to say I like the baby bus alright. 
that damn dog that no one can seem to set free is annoying as hell but other than that (Oh, Airbus, look your fasteners are cute and all and we get that you want to be different but come on, noting wrong with a Phillips bit. ) 
 
I didn't think i would like it but it took time time pulling apart the bin for c-check (compared to a 737 or MD80/90) and i fell in love.

Yes, i am from America and am proud of it.

We have some of the finest tech c/c's at DWH. No worries.

 'reb....my point being, all the competent people in the world ain't gonna do you any good if there's a damaged carbon fiber tube flying around going through pressurization cycles.
