Perhaps I am missing the point, and if so, my apologies. The way I understood your post (and not to put too fine of a point on it) sounds a little more like what happened in the 1997-98 time frame where Boeing assembly lines in Everett and Renton had to shut down for weeks because of parts shortages.

That being the case, may I suggest that the roles may be reversed this episode.

For instance…

Nevertheless, and as I have suggested in other posts, it's not really sportsmanlike to kick the other guy when he is down. The shoe could just as easily be on the other foot, and payback… well, you get the idea.

Besides, there's this glass house and stones thing that comes to mind.

Anyway, I am confidant that Airbus will fight their way back and I am looking forward to seeing an A380 on final to LAX. A pair of Qantas 747-400's pass overhead each morning. If they put the A380 on that route, it's going to be a pretty sight to see.
