I know it comes with them, but the Delta Bird did not have them installed! I wonder if that is an option? I can't imagine why they would not get that option... It is a fuel savings item in a big way.

So Airbus is selling a 33 million dollar aircraft to an AMERICAN carrier for $19 million?

Does anyone here suddenly have the urge to spray air freshener? Because this stinks.
