Some of the issues facing the A380 are at least understandable. The way the company appears to deal, or indeed fail to deal, with its customers is not.
Anyway, I for one hope Airbus can dig itself out of this hole.
This has always been a major concern with Airbus - too
secretive. This leaves them in a position of often having to deny rumours until the facts come to light and then they are forced to 'admit'.
A more forthcoming approach would be refreshing.
Takeoff, I would hope UK jobs will remain - your government gave up at least 1/2 billion pounds for Airbus, did they not ? That must count for something.
