The one thing Airbus AD&S at Brize needs is stability,what with PGB issues, a very poor performing logistics division, low availabilityof serviceable aircraft on a daily basis, add into the mix of recent staffissues (pay-outs to make their problems go away!!) and the added ability to retain people arejust adding to woes of the programme there.

Wiki says there is 174 units on order to the usual suspects plus a few here and there. Are they realistically ever going to sell more than 200 airframes ?

Viewing the current woes Airbus bosses are suffering with this airframe, add into the fact of how much Airbus is losing on the A400M, I doubt anyone would want to go near it until reliability settles.
Also sounds like things at Brize Norton are pointing to an unhappy situation?
