Thanks for that information, without being condescending. It was a poor assumption on my part. Read more

Yep, here's another shot of the scrapping.

The seats looked the same to me when they were reinstalling them, at least in economy. But an upgrade installation would make sense in slowing it down a bit. Maybe I missed it in the time lapse. Read more

Okay let me phrase it this way. They're a government-owned entity, so they don't have to answer to shareholders. Read more

Who said it was a problem? Read more

Plus the fact that the FAA won't take the type certification of the new Chinese plane lightly. Read more

Brazil makes some great planes! You've heard of Embraer, right? Their RJs might not be the most comfy, but their larger E170 and E190 series is great. Embraers are safe, well-built, and reliable. Read more
