The real question is how much longer will Airbus be willing to throw good money after bad on the A380 - at the current production rate they aren't even selling them for what it costs to build one...
well under Gatt92 ( WTO) the game is IF airbus does NOT meet sales numbers by x years, then a significant part of the low cost loans, ( eg subsidies ) is forgiven- but they must show a REAL try to meet the numbers predicted at the costs and $$ sales predicted. otherwise Airbus and friends would be accused of ' gaming ' the system- which they would NEVER do
