Many carriers are now using these for 2-3 hour flights... I'd rather be in a 737:

This is  how I prefer to travel, my son took this shot when were on the way to Rome last summer.  Up front in a DC10.



On the way back, it was an A330, again up front, but sorry, no pictures taken inside this time.

Well, they make it easier on the passengers by offering the B737 convertible...



so I can see why the B737 is the favoured aircraft - Airbus does not have a convertible.

Yes, that's the one. And just to think - some people won't fly Airbus... because of... "design flaws".

Kind of ignoring flight 587 and the recent incident of an Airbus rudder falling off in flight aren't you beetle?

If you want to offer those aren't "design flaws" as you like to say, then you will have to explain why they were designed to fall off.

For 2005, the FAA records 12 incidents involving Airbus A/C & 27 involving 737s.
170 involving Cessna 172s, the plane I fly in most often.
I'm always after some excitement.

At 35 000 feet above the Caribbean, Air Transat flight 961 was heading home to Quebec with 270 passengers and crew. At 3.45pm last Sunday, the pilot noticed something very unusual. His Airbus A310's rudder -- a structure over 8m high -- had fallen off and tumbled into the sea. In the world of aviation, the shock waves have yet to subside.

Aloha does flights to NY, not just California.  Unless they dumped that route.  They also do many flights to Vegas, Pheonix, Dallas/FtWorth, Seattle, and Canada.  I usually go through Houston because I cant stand flying out of LAX.  JW in Orange County isnt bad, but I'd rather avoid LA entirely if possible.

Its not such a bad flight.  Long, but not bad.


*Edit

Never mind, I'm thinking of Hawaiian Airlines, not Aloha.  Aloha has much more limited routes.
