Thank you, Bmused55.

We should especially be happy that there are two companies working profitable and developing technology. Both employing lots of people, mostly in our homecountries (so not somewhere in Kokonistan), strenghening local economy.
We should try to see the big picture: Airbus has gained much ground since mid 1990s, but still 80% of in-service aircraft are Boeing. Hence they are better positioned on the market. If Airbus gets 40% market share in a growing market, pas de probléme!

And we should understand complexity of business and new business solutions, as well as marketing effort or just erroneous attemps. I see Airbus and I tell you: Lots of room for improvement.

But: If I read one-sided article and posts, I answer with one-sided! 🙂
