US AIRWAYS in talks to buy A380

[EMBFA]

There are only a few airports in the United States that can handle the A380- JFK, LAX, ORD (I saw it there earlier this year) and a handful more. No US carrier has a need for that sort of capacity. Maybe if UAL stops whoring itself around street corners they might order the B747-8 but you won't see anything larger at a US carrier. US Airways should'nt even be mentioned in in terms of aircraft that size, what a joke.

Now if they can stretch a CRJ to 300 seats I'm sure they'd happily buy those for another carrier to operate with the blessing of our dumb unions.

may be they would slice the a380 down to 100 seat rjs

i can't see this to be true. it makes no sense.

 

[A330US]

there is no news of this on airliners.net either
i really dont believe this news as US doesnt need this plane...get 777s before you get 380s...
they would have to build a new hangar for this thing...and alot of new infrastructure to support it
but it would look something like this

i just posted it on airliners.net

How'd they do that? That looks pretty sharp! Would rather see the new livery on a 747-8.

nice picture but i think the 787 would have been better

Won't happen. America West and 747s brings up BAD memories!

Ha, ha. That is true.. But, remember we were flying the 200 series, which was a fuel hog, and broken all the time. Hmm. Just like all our Airbus fleet, too!

i think this is a bogus article . the company would have announced it today.

 

[etops1]

we are not getting the A380 . this article is not correct. so we can just drop it.

There will be 12 airports in the USA that the A380 can fly into, and PHL is not one of them.

I'm not getting on a plane that holds more than 300 passengers at a given time...

 

[EMBFA]

Can you imagine. Our F/As can't get thier acts together on a 767. I can't imagine the majority of them having to work on a large aircraft.

Uhmm something to the tune of chickens running around with their heads chopped off and their beaks up where the sun doesn't shine?
