I flew on an Air France A320 yesterday. They seem to be popular short range jets out here.

I guess Airbus is trying to see some of those 737 sales in the US. Maybe building them in Alabama will help.


Isn't delta in the process of converting over to all airbus from boeing planes?

Not that I'm aware of. You'll probably see the 717s and MD-80s they use in places like Baton Rouge and New Orleans eventually replaced with the A310 or A320 at some point though.

The 777 is pretty popular with Delta's trans-Atlantic routes. It's going to be like that for a long time even as the A380 and 747 jumbos dwindle in popularity. Most of the Delta planes I've been on were Boeing products for the longer routes, and some kind of CRJ or MD contraption for the connections.
