#3 Actually, I quite like flying the Jetblue Airbus aircraft. They are clean, comfortable, and I enjoy the individual DirecTV in my seat. I don't wish AB ill, I just wish they were less Gallic. Mon dieu.

#4 I suspect that the orders for the A330 are begining to slow to a trickle. Launching the freighter will keep the prouction line flowing until the USAF chooses a tanker.

The question is why buy the A330F when A300-600/A310-300 conversions are available for a fraction of the price?
