Wonder if they would ever reconsider their "Anti-Airbus" view...EDIT for copyright issues

Maybe they will. Personally I was shocked to see this;http://www.airliners.net/open.file/356184/M/Maybe it's a fake. :-)

That's no fake, AirTran does indeed lease A320s now for their west coast service.As for Continental, it's not an "Anti-Airbus" mentality. I believe that they, Delta, and American all signed special deals with Boeing to buy ONLY Boeing jets for 25 years and receive reduced prices or some other service (even though AA still flies A300s and CO and DL used to fly Airbus widebodies also).

Would be cool if they did fly the 'bus - looks good in CO paint!Regards,Mark

And the real picture, clearly showing that posting that picture breaks the copyright, http://www.airliners.net/open.file/231371/L/http://www.airliners.net/usephotos/This kind of usage HAS to stop, there are excellent photographers that are having their pictures removed from websites like airliners.net just because they don't want to have their pictures stolen, PLEASE STOP USING COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL WITHOUT PERMISSION!

I am sorry, if the moderator reads this, please remove that picture. I should definetly have asked 1st.

Dude, chill out for crying out loud. HE didn't make that picture, just thought it might be worth sharing. Someone out there's been making these ultra-realistic edits for about a year now.Besides, how do you know the guy who made the picture isn't the one who did the mod?

Didn't Continental initially place orders for the A340?What happened to those?
