As much ridiculous perhaps, as the 600 or so backlog from Boeing for the 787 Miraclecruiser......
Let's see and wait for the future.
The fact is that the new generations Boeing 737 (700 and so) have been involved in a lot a crashes recently, so even if nothing is as simple, the star of the American company has been fading a little bit away recently.
But Airbus needs some compettion in the long term, so I wish they will stay in the business anyway.
