,,,"why would the arabs buy airplanes from us (boeing) while we are stealing their oil in middle east".
US?? You, or you friend, still see Boeing as an US product? Take a look where all those parts are produced. Itīs the same as Airbus - parts are produced all over the world.
you say that airbus is giving the airlines a good price, but the US dollar is dropping and Euro remains the same. Don't you guys think that boeing would be cheaper to buy???
well like oil and almost everything in the Aviation Industry, also aircraft are paid in US dollar.
