#5 You're right, ZF.
I fly transpacific regularly and will replace their aging 747-400's (aging because they were early adopters, just as they are here with the 380s) with these A380s on those routes. Never an empty seat in tourist - so a bigger cattle-car is an obvious boon on those routes - and everyone thinks a ticket is a license to become and importer, LOL. That was the source of my reaction.
Cathay flies a decent mix, but it was all Airbus on the routes I needed over the last year. Eva's OK, I've flown on them maybe a dozen times, but it sure isn't SA in food or "customer care", darnit. SA was, indeed, my favorite Asian carrier - very classy in all respects. But no Airbus flights for me.
I was merely lamenting that I know this purchase will directly affect me - and cause me to switch carriers. I don't know why it elicited such a pointless response from the fool. I'll miss SA and, since I always fly Biz or First, they'll miss me, as well. |
