airbus looks good

The 787 looks better.

Anyway airbus isn't much different, both of them fly. But please look at my other post about emergency landings. Airbus thinks bigger is better.

[Jackobaker53]

i like big, so does airbus, its profitable , i like boeing too, but airbus A380 looks better then aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllll the boeings squashed up into one cake, i like the round front, and seeing it fly in front of you is incredible, with the big chunkiness, i wish i got some pics, ive seen 2 in my life, both because of being out of school LOL. anywayz im sure even you want to fly in the worlds largest passenger aircraft right

If you have a plane that can only land at 5 airports world wide because of size. What if you need to make an emergency landing? A 737/777/787 can land at almost any international airport world wide and if needed can land on any expressway. Notice anything?

[Jackobaker53]

737's are miniscule, they are small, uncomfortable, scruffy, bad leather seats and tightly packed, and all planes run the risk of failures, and what if the A380 was coinsidentially at one of those 5 airports, anyway, its one of the most modern planes i know, it wont break

You can't complain about the seats, the airlines order the seats what ever they want and same with the layout, that wasn't boeing fault the customer ordered it like that. All run risk of faliures but if you can't make an emergency landing then what do you do?

Modern? Have you seen the dream liner site? Or the big event in Everett?

Kinda . I concur with austin, life or death situation. I would go with the beoing and if you were a first time flyer, you definitly want the sence of safety sorrounding you .

Dont ever say that a plane wont break, because there is always a possibility. Everything has to break and die, it is the life porcess. You dont see your PS2 controller breaking because it is brand new, you see it break because it is old.

This is from my dad that is at work currently:

--- says:
Besides all of this, you can't compare the 737 with the A380 - they're not even close
Agent says:
Yes but I can tell them all the flaws with the a380 that are obvious...
--- says:
you would have to compare the A380 with a 747 - however you are correct, the seats are BFE (buyer furnished equipment) and the airline controls that, not Boeing

oh and about saftey

--- says:
The other argument would be that outside of the US the airlines are not regulated for safety like they are here in the US.  Because of this Boeing places personnel at every airport and monitors every one of their airplanes to make sure maintenance schedules are being followed - if they aren't then they won't allow them to fly.  Airbus does not do this.  This alone makes Boeing airplanes, all of them, safer.

still people flying in a metel box at 500 mph 36,000 feet in the air is the saftest way to travel waird isent it

It is the safest way. Because even if something does happen there are hardly any in air crashes, you don't just fly out the door, there can be a failure, (and if your not in an a380) you can land safely like a glider. It is fail-safe. Anything that happens in the air can almost always be saved. Really the only thing that could go horribly wrong is if terrorists take over and crash you on purpose, if you hit another plane (HIGHLY UNLIKELY) or if your pilot is just dumb.

[pauljanaway1]

what about if the wings fall off that would be a big problem

[The Captain]

I think cruising is the safest and most fun way to travel .

How are the wings supposed to fall off .

good knows but i may happen

any way the stats for tavel

Mode of transport Deaths per billion passenger km

Yea well I wish god would tell me how the wings of a plane can just fall off for no reason .

See, water ravel is pretty safe , and fun.

[pauljanaway1]

ok a massive failuer of all the planes hull could make the wings drop off

[The Captain]

Well how does the hull have a failure?

[pauljanaway1]

exsploive decompression rips the hull open

[Agent|Austin]

exsploive decompression rips the hull open

And how often does that happen. 

[pauljanaway1]

Please tell me you have flown before. Because you seem new to this whole plane thing. I have never been on a plane when anything has happened. Although when I went on my cruise one night both the main's blew and we had to run to port to get them fixed using what we had left in the generators.

[pauljanaway1]

yes of corce i have flow before i just like to find the worce cace scenario in every thing it's just my thing

[The Captain]

Course it is . Why dont you try and find the good things in life ?

[pauljanaway1]

[The Captain]

Really..? Like what?

[pauljanaway1]

i once said last week that there was some nice flowers in my garden

[The Captain]

I said try and look at the nice things in life, meaning, doing nice things. C'mon, its not that hard. Try going out to dinner with your wife, or, spending time with your friends. Here, I will give you an example of how good my life was today. Today, I got to go home from band camp . Now, you try .
