Are the Austrian courts under indirect pressure from the German and French governments? With so many billions of Euros and the Airbus reputation depending on delivery dates, their ability to win battles in the Trans-Atlantik "Battle of the Subsidies" 'Schlachtfeld', there must be some future orders at stake, if potential customers get 'cold feet' about delivery dates .

Would Airbus, through the French or German 'Foreign Office', try to silence the "frechen, beschwerlichen Schuft" as soon as possible, by exerting sharp pressure on their smaller neighbor? Or do politics not work that way?
