[QUOTE="drewed, post: 476147, member: 13615"] Soo why are the 400s so damn hard to keep in the air? The 130 million investment per was meant to offset the cost of maintaining and operating the 100s and 200s, well why yes they are more effecient aircraft they seem to be spending a lot of time on the ground....in my mind retiring the 200s and 100s was a bit premature even if it was to have a reserve flights out of the major air hubs....The MD11s use to be the joke about reliability the 400s def giving it a run for its money..... Also where do you see the fleet going in lets say 10-20 years? Id prefer us to stay away from using A380s, i personally dont like the fact the control surfaces are all electronically controlled without a hydralic backup and when they make a freight version of the dreamliner (if it gets back on schedule and doesnt bankrupt boeing) and the 747-8 will be the way to go [/QUOTE]
