Boeing to take on Airbus with (1000 seat) giant 797

[jboweruk]

808 you mean. I think the 797 is a spoof, nothing on Boeing site about it.

Hmmmmmmm......... It didn't say it will have duty free shop. Nor waterfalls like 380. Gee! Why would anyone want to fly in a plane
without waterfalls????

Oh yeah, I forgot about the 808

We've seen this plane before... Concept plane of the 60's... The Flying Wing.... As for Boeing vs Air Bus, as not a real pilot, I like them
both, but I am more partial to prop planes and bush flying.... Low and slow....

Did't Boeing say that medium sized aircraft were the way to go for the future? chged their minds?i doubt this airplane will ever happen.

[jboweruk]

Yep, that's what Boeing said.

"Yeah right? Are you series or drunk? Boeing have 5x as many aircraft as Airbus! Maybe even more! Plus, if you value your health, stay
away from Airbus. "


Too bad for you.... but chances of getting into an aircrash with boeing aircraft is way higher then loosing your life with an airbus.

Airbus has a very, very, very good reputation when it comes to safety! Until now only few airbus crashes were due to mechanical
failures.... whereas Boeing had to deal with a full range of mechanical problems due to which aircrafts have crashed.

So don't be such a stupid donkey....

But Boeing are bound to have more crashes because of the amounts of airplanes they have in the sky. Think of it this way. Which country
will have more car accidents annually? A country with 500,000,000 or a country with 5,000,000. All the drivers have the same skill(just like
all pilots are equally good). So which country do you think will have more car accidents?

Plus, very rarely do Boeings crash becuase of Mechanical Error. Usually its pilot error or bad weather.
