Old vs. New – A Lesson in the Air

Old vs. New – A Lesson in the Air

If you thought this article was about the rivalry between Boeing and Airbus which is one of the most heated on the planet, then you are wrong ??. This is a much lighter forward I got from one of my groups. It goes like this:

When a huge Airbus A380 was flying across the Atlantic, there happened to be a small fighter jet patrolling nearby. The fighter pilot slowed down, flew side by side with the Airbus, and then greeted the old Airbus captain with the communication radio:

"Hi, Captain Airbus, is long-distance flying boring? Take care! Show you a rare flight show! "

After speaking, the little fighter began to roll, accelerate, break through the sonic barrier, climb rapidly, dazzling, and then dive almost to sea level at a breathtaking speed.

After the dazzling performance, the fighter flew back to the airbus. Asked: "How is it? Admire it?" The old airbus captain replied: "Wow! Very impressive! But now let's watch my performance!"

So the fighter stared at Airbus to see what he was performing, but nothing happened. It continued to fly straight and tenaciously at the same speed.

Five minutes later, the old Airbus captain said to the fighter: "How about the performance? Admire it?"

The fighter pilot asked in confusion, "Ah? I didn't see any performances?"

The old Airbus captain smiled and said: "That's a pity, I just stood up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the plane to go to the bathroom, then drank a cup of coffee and ate a cinnamon cake, can you?"

So, what do you think, is the moral of this story?
