Hi Guys,

Just to add to the story, I have a friend who works in the avionics industry as a designer . He told me, last weekend, that there are now DAILY meetings regarding the serious financial troubles with Airbus which are going to have a knock-on effect throughout the industry. Doesn't sound very good.
It certainly looks like BA Systems may have jumped from a sinking ship in the nick of time.
He also added that there are huge offset costs now involved due to delays in the programmes - amounting to millions.
Shame though - I quite fancied myself as a future A380 pilot...
I do hope that they manage to pull through.
