OK blueloo. And where do you get your prices from? Recently to European loco's made large orders. Easyjet with Airbus (Boeing obviously couldn't make as attractive an offer as you well pointed out) and Ryanair with Boeing, well in this case Airbus obviously couldn't match Boeing's offer. Anyway, let's face it, business is all about offering a good product at a good price, and Boeing and Airbus are both businesses.

About government subsidies, I'm not going to get too deep in to that as I'm not too sure about the whole issue, but let's just say Airbus is a consortium of a number of EU countries... that's the way thinhs work here. And what about Boeing military, is Boeing not getting lots of nice state dollars???
