The Boeing 737 versus Airbus 320 competition is interesting to follow. Locally, what I cannot follow, is the fact that Qantas/Jetstar has large numbers of both and Virgin/Tiger has fewer A320’s in comparison with the B737’s. Admittedly, Virgin inherited the 320’s when it took control of Tiger. What is so special about the 737 for Qantas use and the 320 for Jetstar? The latter has a wider cabin/seat which would appear to match the more upmarket Qantas image. Surely standardising on the one aircraft would make for simpler maintenance for a start.
