Fuzzy logic
Yes, Wino. I'd like an answer to that too! (eal401's question).
In fact you have made a lot of assertions that seem to reflect a particular point of view, rather than the facts on the ground.
And, if Boeing are going to launch a new aircraft, why would it then be foolish for Airbus to launch a direct competitor? In fact, would a direct competitor aircraft that was better (sells more, if you prefer) than the Boeing product not be the key to overall corporate success?
Why could it only be done with subsidies ... in fact do Airbus not claim that it gets support in the form of government loans? All of which, they say, have to date been paid back with interest. True or not?
