After riding across the pond twice, Atlanta to Amsterdam and back on a ScareBus A340 all I can say is "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going". The seat arrangement on KLM's A340's is the pits when compared to Southwest's 737. One airplane, one type rating fleet is about the best idea I have seen in commercial aviation.
Is Keller a hybrid of Kelleher and Kelly?

Murray! You are confused...KLM has never flown A340's. However KLM/Delta do have a fleet of A330's. Agreed they are pretty much identical to look at bar the engine arrangement. As far as type ratings go...Airbus as usual are ahead of the game with a generic one licence flies all models. Think of the flexiblity that gives an airline.....
