I welcome this as a frequent flyer. It is increasingly difficult to book domestic flights on Boeings, which I far prefer to Airbuses. But Airbus has been very aggressive with pricing and with lease terms, so much so that I cannot fault airlines for choosing these comparatively poorly-built planes. Meanwhile Boeing has found it increasingly difficult to compete given the anti-business climate in the Pacific Northwest where it is based, and greedy union demands. All this while Airbus is being subsidized by eurocrats. Disgusting.

Fly Continental, Southwest, American, Delta, Air Tran, or Alaska. Their fleets are all Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. (American does have 34 A300-600R's but those fly almost entirely to the Caribbean, Central and South America out of JFK and MIA.)
