And I think most countries actually don’t want to win because then they have to organise the whole sh!t.

Been watching Father Ted, Ben? :D:D:D

I’m slowly turning green with envy here…… 😀

The Jet2 B737 appears to be a better quality shot than the other two.

Can you remember what it was that you did differently for that shot?

Ah, but thanks to my Irish blood, morning-after issues have never been a problem for me

Ahhhh…. you stay p*ssed, then? :D:D:D

You’d be saying things differently if Boeing had done the same

Ah… the biter bit. :D:D:D

Actually, Sandy, I wouldn’t. I’d be maintaining the same consistent line as always – they’re both at it.

Were I so minded, I could mention Boeing’s massive discounts to Ryanair, or the offsetting of the value of Singapore Airlines Airbuses against an order for Boeing aircraft. What are these, if not inducements?

The airliner business is just that – a business. Not a team spectator sport or a titanic life and death struggle between the forces of Light and Darkness. But perhaps you disagree? 😀

Businesses the world over do whatever it takes to capture orders. Why should Airbus and Boeing be exceptions to this?
