Losing orders left and right?
They have just lost the freighter deals. VS pushed back some dates on their A340, by a couple of years for a few outstanding orders. That's about it.
The Airbus order book is healthy enough at the moment, as is their sales sheet for 2007. Their biggest problem is the lousy euro to dollar rate. I've never understood why they continue to sell in dollars when the euro is now a globally accepted currency, but then again I'm no economist.
