What I like is that the newest airliner in the world already has stuff taped to the door because they didn't think to put a little leaflet holder there.

And for the the money they're charging for it I would have thought leather interior at least.

Hi Guys,
Well I'm really impressed with how well equipped the aircraft is. You gotta hand it to Airbus Industries, they do think of everything. I think it's a nice little touch that they have provided the pilots each with their own little bicyle pumps right next to the cup holders aft of the control sticks. Ideal should they notice an underinflated tyre during their preflight walkaround. What will they think of next. :roll:

Well, ignoring the sneers, the reason for which I cannot fathom, this seems to me a well laid out and spacious cockpit. Only the DC10 and before it the VC10 ( and as an aside the Short Belfast) had anything like the spaciousness.
Why do those who are not American want to sneer? More than 50 % of the value of this aeroplane emanates from Britain, and I for one am proud of that fact
