"Airbus' principal handicap vis a vis Boeing is the dollar that has collapsed,"

When did the dollar "collapse"? Was it when the Euro was issued at $1.20? Or today, when it was worth $1.256?

The Euro was issued pegged to European currencies, and IIRC it came out at about 1:1 with the dollar. It dipped to costing 80+ cents for a while, then a few years ago the dollar collapsed, bringing it to where it is now.

The problem is not the Euro. It's the Euroweenies!
