Delta Looks at Airbus A320 Jet for Boeing-Dominated Fleet
Delta Air Lines Inc. will weigh adding a more fuel-efficient version of Airbus SAS’s narrow-body A320 to a fleet historically dominated by Boeing Co. jets. (www.bloomberg.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Delta has a boatload of AIRBUS equipment-319's, 320's and 330's. The only "spares" required will be if they take 'em with a newer, more efficient engine!!
Introducing an Airbus airplane in an all Boeing fleet will only complicate things for Delta, like pilot training,maintenance,spares, etc. With all those computers on board,maintenance and troubleshooting, must be very expensive.
I for one aviod flying Airbuses. They have had several "misterious" accidents that no one has been able to explain satisfactorily, i.e Air France A330, TAM A320, AirFrance A320 (during an air show), etc I sincerely hope that this only speculation!!!

I'm not sure if it's more efficient than Boeing, but I like Boeing jets better-as a passenger.
Both Boeing & Airbus are great companies. If Delta decides to go all Airbus, who cares. The everyday passenger only cares about low fares, a seat, and now wifi so they can facebook/tweet while they fly. It seems only the old-school fyers have a problem with the manufacturer of the aircraft.
Airbuses have the highest number of incidents, plain and simple. Delta will lose the business of anyone that won't ride on an Airbus if they go to them. I know 1 major company that won't use Delta at all if they go to the Airbus. Right now Delta gets 4 grand per person and there are 57 people so that's $228,000 a month they will lose if they go to the Airbus. And that's just the 57 people I know of......
According to an article listed on this site Boeing is looking into a more fuel efficient engine and some retooling of the 737. Someone should pass that on to Delta.
