The A350 is a good idea - similar in capability to the 787 but has commonality with the rest of the Airbus fleet. Doesn't really need a lot of funding in comparison.
This looks like Boeing's last chance, they still have reasonable markets for the 737/777, but for how much longer?
For those A380-sceptics, wait 5-10 years and see what happens, everyone knows the aviation industry isn't one that is easily predicted. There are a lot of knackered old 747's out there waiting to be replaced - will the operators go for a then vamped-up 55-year old design from Boeing, or move with the times with innovative Airbus??
