Will they repaint the A333s? They look ratty with mismatched parts. Also, VSXY and VKSS have the dull red vs. the shiny red on the rest of the fleet.

N193-N195UW have a slightly different exhaust section on their CFMs. They have triangular cuts at the back of the engine which is different from all A320CEO family aircraft at AA. I'm not sure if these engines are interchangeable with the rest or if they would swap out the exhaust section. How is i...

Is AA still due for its 321XLR this year? A former colleague who is still on the inside told me the configuration will be 10J 194Y, that seems very dense for this airplane and may cause range issues.

Jump to postKeep the blue engines/belly and the Delta belly with slightly larger D E L T A titles on the fuselage. In all honesty, larger titles and the widget on all winglets is all Delta needs.

I would think JNB would become an A35K route as well. If DL is already moving the higher-J config A359, the A35K could hopefully lift a llttle more out from JNB's high altitude. Is it still true that South Africa is a goldmine for DL? I would think they would want their new flagship on a "prest...

Jump to postI've noticed in UA A321neo videos that the distinct "vulcan-like" howl is almost non-existent. Do newer engines have a change that affects this, like something with a pressure differential? Or, are UA pilots careful on the throttle? Just an observation. Any insight is appreciated.

My first A320 was also NW, from MCI-MSP in 1999. It was a treat because the DC-9 operated almost every NW flight out of KC, so the A320 at the gate was a surprise. Flew MCI-MSP-SJC to visit my uncle. Flew the A320 all the way to California. Then, on the way back got an A319 (probably brand new at th...

And soon the A330-900 will be the largest fleet in the A330 family.
