Beautiful aircraft! Any chance that Cathay Pacific will acquire any of the A380? I heard they will stick with the 747-400 and 787Dreamliner? .. I love Cathay Pacific !
Yeah, He does. depending on the trip (ex. From Los Angeles to Beijing Capital, He would take off at least $500-$700 off. Its pretty cool. Also I always watch his takeoff and landings on the jumpseat. Its crazy cool to have a family pilot!!!!
I'm a flight operations officer. I work for ground handling companies..mine is HIAS Hong Kong International Airport Services. My department also calculate weight and balance, fuel etc. I coordinate with ATC Tower and flight deck to monitor flight ops.
I prepare weather and plan flying routes as well. We serve Airlines like Air France, KLM, Virgin Atlantic, EVA, Continental, Finnair and all our staffs get tickets for only 10%. But we can't give it to nephews, only father, mother, son, syblings only if they are under 24 and single.
Then why does he give it to me for less than 1000 bucks. Its either that or he pays for the tickets and then sells it to me for under that price. Im not sure imma ask him.
But don't forget, that may be the rule for Hong Kong. Also, he works for the Airline and he's a pilot, so benefits may differ. But for staffs like us, we have those rules and all ground company staffs get it at 10% in Hong Kong.
Ok, I ask him last night and he said that he bought the tickets at full price and gives it to us for a very cheap price. Thats what he said. Anways his airline base is at singapore. Well thanks for the heads up though
Cool. It's so cool you get to watch the take offs and landings. For cockpits, I've only been on a 747-300 during flight. Not landing nor take off though. But I'm always in different airlines and aircrafts during my work as I brief with pilots before they push back.
The Americans must accept,that sooner or later the brain drain from Europa will stop,that the rest of the business world will stop using the US$,because it have on value!Than they will be forced to export more than they import at the moment and thus rectify their trade deficit of about 60%,which is presently covered by above mentioned printed waste paper!
Your happy days are counted suckers!World is turning its back on your useless US$!We are not willing to pay for your conquering escapades around the world any more!Nor to pay for it in artificial oil price increases,created by you!You are sentenced to work harder!!!
If that will be american plane all tv station and prees wiil talk only positive think about it.Well in this time american airlines and people have to finally understand the new queen on the sky is arrived and is comes from Europe only true freedom place on planet and mother of all humanity .
Yes,Boeing swallowed McDonnell Douglas,but not only to me,those DC-10 falling of the sky,were something to chew on!Specially Chicago crash stank with sabotaging this unfortunate aircraft!And you call it mastering the aviation???US companies are unable to compete fair play with each other,nor with the rest of the world!!!
face it, Airbus has been selling almost twice as much as Boeing and they are the most used Aircraft company. Am not sayin boeing is not good, but Airbus is just ahead!!
Actually, it's the other way around, but I quit. I'm not taking sides anymore. I don't get why these two companies just join together and revolutionize flight TOGETHER.
Because 2 reasons. The first one is because the market is going to be a monopoly, and that's not possible. And the second one, is because the best way to revolutionize flight is through the competence. The best example of that, is that boeing didn't do important changes on their airplanes for many years until airbus became strong with innovation. Now, both are innovatives thanks to the same competence.
Well, I geuss, but boeing has been getting stronger anyway. Just think of the 747. They never made a bigger aircraft like the 757. And how can that cause a monoply. People has to travel somehow.
Airbus originally projected it would break even on the A380 with its 270th delivery of the jet, but that break-even number has ballooned to 420 following the model's costly delay problems. AP says Airbus currently "has logged 189 orders or firm commitments for the plane."
Que quiten este video y lo vuelvan a editar con una musica mas relajante, que parece sto parece AirForceOne(la peli). Solo faltan los terroristas moros en el avion.
Unfortunately Airbus lost its pants with this aircraft. There simply is no demand for this jet other than signature usage. Boeing simply got lucky with its decision for smaller and less expensive to fly aircraft. The 787 hasn't even been build yet and has already sold 700 jets before 2007 was over and at the same time even after this A380 tour, it has less than 100 confirmed orders.
Airbus has gone though five CEOs as multiple delays in the A380 program resulted in massive write-offs and a restructuring plan that foresees 10,000 job cuts over four years — not to mention billions of dollars in lost profit.
Such delays have hurt more than just profits: Airbus' reputation has suffered, and U.S. rival Boeing Co. grabbed the top sales spot in 2006.
right and compares to boeings 800 orders how? and by the way airbus lost money on this project. They needed to sell around 300 they couldnt. That is exactly why they rushed the a350 project when beoing came out with the 787. Beoing took their time and thought things through.
Airbus are better with the aircrafts, but their interiors suck. It's like sitting on a metal stick for 12 hours or more. And it hurts after only 2 hours!! Boeing's, got better interiors than airbus, but the aircrafts are expensive! So it depends on what you want to compare it with;) I'd say 50/50
It's weird what you're saying. The seats of airbus planes and of most of boeing planes are made by the same company Sicma Aero Seat. So, it's not airbus or boeing who makes them. Those would be the same...
they're probably the same, but I find airbus seats like sitting on a piece of metal for 12 hours, and it hurts alot..but you're right about the same manifacturer.
I flew with all kind of aircrafts on trips between South Africa and Europe (10 hour trip),and must say,that the economy class is up to sh*t in any aircraft! :-\
could you imagine how much they must of paid for a ticket on this flight b4 the plane service even starts...oh and how many passengers did they carry for the test flight or whatever you call it?
It's not shows the Lufthansa version... It's still a test plane from Airbus self. And they have installed this cabin to see how it's works.. later will this plane delivered to Ethiad Airways
