Subsidies

Apparently, the WTO say that Boeing are at least as bad as EADS on the subsidy front. So that argument pretty much washes both ways.

Where EADS needs to find 'only' a billion Euros for the 320NEO, Boeing would need to find significantly more for a 737RE, and will need a 777 refresh shortly.
All this during a time when the 787 programme is haemorrhaging cash and the 747-8 isn't making much (not yet, anyway). Ouch
