My sources at Boeing tell me the negotiations have not gone well with GF. There is a big difference in the price Boeing was offering and what GF was willing to pay for the 787. It seems doubtful those beauties will be a part of GF future (barring any political decision by the government to please the U.S.).

Boilermaker,
Interesting comment seeing as there appear to be simultaneous meetings taking place today in Tolouse with AIB and in London with Boeing.

As I have said, I have good sources (a must when u are in the airline consulting business). The London negotiations you speak of ended 2 days ago if I am not mistaken, and are not simultaneous with Airbus as far as I know. Why? Because the source I have in GF says the team that went to London 3 days ago left there already and are at Airbus now.

Boilermaker, as someone who knows Icarus, believe me your contacts are a lot further away from the talks than he is!!

Hey FADAC, Dubai Air Show closes at the 15th November......
I hope the big guys in the pink Palace know that, too!

It would be really disappointing for all of us if there is not even a single order from GF.

First day of the Air Show has passed and nothing yet. Now we will see how truthful my sources were and if I have been far off.

Too bad Boeing or Airbus do not barter. We could send Seattle or Toulus all the Hamour they could eat....forever.

FADAC- What is your latest. Always good to hear your perception of reality. Typed this up in the font that keeps you in your comfort zone.

GF is known by the biz community as a joke of an airline. Now Fadac has assured everyone that they are the joke of PRUNE.
here here well done GF and Fadac keep us and everyone laughing.

Rumour is that our bearded friends in the ever so intelligent & open-minded parliment are making problems for the company regarding new aircraft. Seems these ever-so religious a**holes want their piece of the action.
Hence no orders to be expected.
