Does anyone have a list of all the types that the airline uses? It looks like a mishmash of all different types of aircraft. That has to cost a bundle to have so many different types.
I BELIEVE that may types of aircraft is bad for an airline as there is many more mechs needed for different types, spares needed for different types, training needed for different types, inability to use flight crews and resources on certain types..... Southwest's Idea of using one type was always shunned from most airlines just in case of a Airworthiness directive where they took an entire type out of the air for unforeseen issues with aircraft. As most of us know it did not affect Southwest as they were using one of the most reliable aircraft ever made. Can you imagine the impact on Southwest if the Rudder issues let to a grounding of all 737's? Not good for any airline that has the 737 but Southwest????
So here comes the question, who thinks that it is good for an airline that already has service issues to take on a new aircraft type when they have so many.
Looking for peoples opinions here.... I like U.S. Air but really a good idea?
