How can I find out to what extent each US airline is using Airbus aircraft?

This is a time of heightened anti-French and anti-German sentiment in the US over those government's opposition to US plans for using force to disarm Iraq. Partners from France and Germany are the largest Airbus investors, I believe. The greatest users of Airbus aircraft in the US could be most affected by growing reluctance to use French and German goods and services.

Uhmm

Airbus uses P&W (USA), GE (USA) and RR (GB) engines on its aircraft. I'm sure that these folks would not understand such a boycott in this multinational manufacturing world.

perhaps you could pick a cheese or wine instead, or how about the Statue of Liberty.

Don't worry about a boycott, with the way that the US$ is dropping you wont be able to afford to buy anything from Europe!

What next? A B737 boycott perhaps? An awful lot of them are powered by those half French CFM56s after all. B@stards!

Too many feeble minded individuals are relying on those enlightened folks at FoxNews Channel to do their thinking for them...
