A very interesting one to watch, to compare how the A320 was back in the early 90s to when I started on the type in 2006 and coming back in this year on the newer builds of A320 and A320NEO.
A320 is only about half a foot wider than the 737. A lot of it depends on the configuration that individual airlines choose. Both 737s and A320 used to have much more legroom until airlines crammed way more seats into them. That being said, I’ve always liked the lavatories on A320s better.
I've always found the 737-700 to be more comfortable than the A320, though the A320's style always looks newer. The 737-800 is a different story -- very uncomfortable aircraft.
Even almost in 2020! a 1993 airbus cabin looks so bright and modern, too bad new airline economics had pushed airlines to cut cabin storage and layout, modrern airbuses just have doors, seats-many seats-doors, so sterile enviorment,,
Low cost airlines came along. Full service airlines couldn't compete with the bare bones options and add-on's available from low cost. Low Cost airlines have basically killed full economy service. Such a shame. Nothing we can do. What you're looking for is in First or Business Class these days.
That’s very interesting. I was always taught that United’s battleship grey livery existed from 1993 to 2004, yet here it is in 1989 according to the video title. Also, I didn’t think drop-down LCD flat screens on planes came into existence until the early 90s, yet here they are in 1989.
It still baffles me that flip-down LCD screens were available back in the early 1990s. The A320 beats the living s*** out of any 737 if you ask me. UA did a great job of making them premium back in the day, and they actually had footrests in coach?! BTW: UA didn't take delivery of the A320 until around 1993. The only carrier in the USA that took delivery before that of the A320 was Northwest I believe....
Northwest and Pan Am were the first two customers in the USA. Pan Am never took delivery and these aircraft went first to Braniff (II) and then America West.
People keep mentioning this video couldn’t have been 1989 because of the Livery, but I’m thinking those drop down LCD screens were too advanced even for 1993. I feel like this is more mid 90s.
✈️🚨 *Question: What is with the red light @**6:09**? I don’t understand why there would be a red light when the engines are stopped, the door is disarmed, and when the cabin pressure exceeds a certain level.* I assume the red light comes on if any one single situation of those three scenarios happens. They don’t all have to be happening at one time in order for it to turn red. I’m basically positive about that. But what I don’t understand is why the red light would come on if the engines are off and the cabin pressure is high. The cabin pressure should only be high when the plane is flying, and then almost certainly the engines won’t be off. And even if the engines were off when the plane was flying that doesn’t matter to the flight attendant, per se. when they first started talking about the light and they mentioned that it turns red at the engines are off I thought it was a safety device in case they had to do an emergency evacuation that the flight attendant would know the engine was off on that side of the airplane before opening the door. Because sometimes flight attendants can only use the left side of the plane or the right side of the plane when doing an emergency evacuation. Does anyone know more about the reason that the light would go off if anyone of those three things happen? Anybody know about that specific plane OR other planes with somewhat similar features?
It would show if the engines are off, the door is disarmed and if there is residual cabin pressure in the aircraft. This is a very important indicator device; given that Airbus aircraft don't have plug type doors, opening of a door when cabin pressure is too high will most probably throw the person from the aircraft.
- Thanks for responding. Yeah, I get what you’re saying, but does the red light only come on when all three things happen: meaning that the engines are off and the door is disarmed and cabin pressure is high? It Hass to be all three things at once? What if the engines are off but the door is ARMED and the cabin pressure is way too excessive? How does a flight attendant know not to open the door then?
@@iMatti00 The idea is not to delay an emergency evacuation (slides armed). This is particularly true if there's a fire on board, creating smoke that will cause the cabin pressure to rise. Saudia Flight 163 was a case where this happened and evacuation was delayed so long, the cabin pressure exceeded the ability to open doors, the whole plane was trapped and died from the fire.
A 1989 A320 is 95% identical to a brand new A320, and 15 is 100% legal in France. Does this mean someone born in 1989 is 95% compatible with a h0t French 15 year old?
@@theboardshorts I actually work on Boeing. I actually prefer it but those doors are very heavy. Especially when you operate door L2. It's not spring assisted (oof)

Interesting to see the differences vs what’s stayed the same. The a320 is my second home 🥰
Nothing has changed except engines and required fuel system tweaks. The A320 is still 95% 1987. Also, 15 is legal in France. 🇫🇷

Aunt Barbara adores the neo!
Has anything really changed? Part wise, it's still 95% 1986.
The A320 is noticably more refined and comfortable than the 737.

You must miss 1987.

Uhhhh I would have to disagree. It may be slightly wider, but have always felt more comfortable on 737s
@@RyanRosario… one is just longer than the other… airlines may change seat pitch and legroom but the planes themselves are mechanically the same
UA didn’t take the A320 until late 1993. And that’s the same year as the Battleship Grey livery came out
In this day and age the airlines need a little compartment, to stick all these unruly passengers that seem to be disrupting flights.
thanks for uploadin this video on the a320.
i never had the chance to fly as a pasenger on the 320 but on
the good old faithful dc9.

Heh Heh just you wait for 2020 it’s going to be GREAT
Yeah, I can’t figure out why they have 1989 in the video title. This is almost certainly from 93 or 94.
Airlines are Jelousy about money
Because a 1993 A320 is 95% identical to a 2020 A320.
It can't be 1989, that paint job was not introduced yet.
The copyright at the end says 1993.
At timestamp 16:42.
That's ca. 1989 :)
Too bad the cabins aren't like that anymore. Now its just cram as many seats as possible.

This is definitely not from 1989. It's late 90's - early 00's
GREAT PLANE FOR 1993!!!!!
Where is Vaaalerie? Is she still flyin taday?
LOL...of course! Vaaalerie is going to be flyin' til she's 102.
I've flown in their a320 before.

Did you watched the entire video?
Allrighty Then
Technological progress in civil aerospace stopped after 1987 when the A320 was introduced. It was the peak.
