    Yes I have been asked if I mind assisting whenever I have sat in the emergency exit row and I would leave my carry on bag in the overhead locker.
    Here's the safety video..
    . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbPd2gOOYPs.its such a "tough ask" to even fake being interested isn't it. I believe Bob Jones was banned for a period of time, from vague memory 2 years.

    Beagle could start a poll, I like the 777X with GE engines, but I know nothing. Whatever the decision, I reckon RR engines are screwed in favour of GE, that's the rub isn't it, whatever airframe is chosen RR is going to hurt while it's engine fiasco's are still ongoing.

    The bulk of any compensation available to AIR from Rolls will come from the discount purchase price on new engine orders.
    Therefore GE would have had to sharpen their pencils if the want to match or better any Rolls offer.

    Acknowledge what you've said above BUT I think AIR's management must surely take the proactive step to select the more reliable engines so as to reduce the risk to the company going forward. "The bitter taste of poor quality lingers long after the thrill of a bargain"

    Fascinating choice. I've always thought it would be about 8, 777-9 and 8 to 10, 787-9. The 777 for capacity and 787 (2 versions - USA/Rest of world). Fairly straight swap and better for crewing. The 787 is really versatile and fits well with ANZs plans and routes.
    However, the Airbus has the range to get to New York, New Delhi and Dubai (the 777 doesn't), is cheaper and has slightly greater capacity. Airbus A320 crew could slot into crew positions OK and it's a popular plane with plenty of companies able to provide support.

    Hmm - so Airbus A 350 has more capacity, can fly longer distances and is cheaper.

    Of course will AIR will pick Boeing in this case ... only the worst can be good enough for the national carrier ; Wait- aren't there some Ilyushin's we should consider as well?

    But its probably just about giving in to the big bully in the white house ...

    Why so bitter and twisted?

    When have AirNZ selected the wrong aircraft in the past?

    I think its all just Monday morning tongue in cheek stuff, taking the proverbial.
