OK 747FOCAL, glad you see how that comment could be seen as "insensitive"...
Regarding the other news item, nothing on boeing.com about it, but I certainly hope its true and I'm sure these orders will eventually come in.
Sorry for ranting on about this, but I'm just getting fed up with all the knocking Airbus gets on these forums, especially from Americans. You know what I mean, "scarebus" or lets laugh at the silly 380. It's such a waste of time (I'm not accusing you of doing so by the way), but why can't people just grow up and admit that Airbus is a great company, just as is Boeing, thus leading to healthy competition. I'm sure, and know, both companies have their flaws, but they both build excellent aircraft.
