But A is killing its own products A330 and A340-300.
Indeed. This is called the "eat your young" strategy. It's clear that these products will not stand up well in comparison to B's products, so A has no choice but to kill off their own products. Given the fact that they are loaned money on really generous terms every time they develop a new product, it's relatively easy for them to do so.

Great news as I work in airbus engineering the future is lovely at present
Congrats, Matkat. Keep up the good work. It must be a wonderful time to be there. Keep good notes, and perhaps write a book some day
! If not, just write us a nice long post about what you've seen and done while at Airbus. I'm sure most of us would find it quite interesting.
