The tax incentives to keep the production in the state of washington were to bring the state into line with other states and are available to anyone participating in aircaft production in the state of washington, including any work Airbus might choose to do there. Sooooo, If the EU governments are willing to give boeing 1/3 the developement costs on the same basis that they gave to airbus then I have no problems.

The risk sharers are taking there end of the production at their risk. No one is offering the same loans to BOEING for boeing's share of the production.

So if the EU government will cut boeing a check for 3 billion, to be paid back as "licenses" on production as they do for Airbus, then there is no problem.
