1) A website for aviation enthusiasts and aviation nerds. 2) A cyber world where Boeing is always wrong and Airbus is always right, but reality sees to it that both manufacturers are pretty even in just about ever field.
While it's original intent was to be a sounding board for those wishing to bond and discuss all things aviation, recent events within the aviation world have revealed the contempt amongst the members of this website. Expect to see many Airbus vs Boeing keyboard wars. Many of the members seem to believe Airbus is superior to Boeing and that the former will steal orders from the latter. For example, Southwest Airlines, a solely 737 operator, was rumored to be getting ready to make a huge order. Airliners.net fan boys assumed that the A220 (aka Bombardier C-Series) which is a fantastic aircraft, would be Southwest's aircraft of choice to replace aging 737-700s. Southwest has all 737s but different variations of it within its fleet. Lots of fan boys predicted a massive order of over a 100 A220s with 100 options for more. Instead, Southwest stuck with the newer 737MAX 7, a direct replacement to the 737-700, with an order for 150 and options for 100 more. The move made sense since the airline doesn't have to train it's pilots, maintenance and cabin crews on a totally new aircraft design. Less money for the to spend. This angered and disappointed many of the Airbus fan boys. To them, Airbus should have got it while Boeing sits back and cries in a corner.

I went online looking to see what's going on with the 777X delays. Google took me to the Civil aviation forum on airliners.net. I feel like I should hate Boeing, but I don't know why. Then I also feel like I should hate Airbus too. But... why?

I paid for carry-on luggage handling at United Airlines. When I arrived at my hotel room in Boston, my laptop screen was shattered. I paid for the fucking thing, and now United refuses to compensate me for it, those assholes.
