mgdimarco, Airbus have 95 orders now, before the plane has flown so I guess it is a pretty fair bet that more orders will follow thereby allowing Airbus to make money out of the a/c.
After all I don't think that all the 747 orders were in place before its first flight
As you say Boeing weren't smart enough to come up with a design to match the innovative A320........................so the moaning about it sounds like sour grapes.
