Never believe what either of those companies tell you when they start going off about their rival, because then they suddenly turn into a bunch of monkeys lobbing t#rds at each other. And frankly Baseler doesn't have the best record for trustworthiness in my book. When Boeing clinched a Singapore Air 777 order by offering to buy and remarket SIA's Airbus A340-300s, he tried to convince me and some colleagues that this was nothing new and Airbus used those sort of tactics all the time. This was not true. There have been other times since then when he's handed out duff information ... Frankly I don't have a lot of faith in the words of marketing reptiles from either camp ...
